My site is almost static. It has 64 pages. These pages before today were named with underscore. After checking my sites SEO with WooRank, the site advices me to change underscore links to dash links.
I did changed all my pages from using underscores to separate words in file name to dashes.
My site works 100% fine after the changes, I checked internal links.
But, what about the external links to my site?
What can I do to solve the issue that those links are linking to my underscore based URLs.

That's all you need to do. Putting a 301 permanent on all renamed pages will handle both internal and external links. Google will eventually re-crawl and use the new names.
This will keep your site free from errors but any change to the structure may result in a temporary dip in rank. It it temporary and you will normally recover from it in a few weeks.
