I'm wondering whether they should be stored in anti-static bags or not?

BJT's are rarely affected by ESD, but it never hurts to keep them in an antistatic bag if you have one lying around.
Mind you that (MOS)FET's can be extremely sensitive to ESD, although they look exactly the same on the outside.
