So what happened to the Barca family after the second punic war? Did they go into exile along with Hannibal, or did they remain in the city itself until its destruction?

Almost certainly many of them were either killed or went into exile after the 3rd War as leading aristocrats in Qart-Hadast itself. Only Hannibal himself is said to have gone into voluntary exile, which suggests his policies post-Second Punic War were unpopular, not his family. A powerful noble family with holdings across the former Carthaginian colonies would likely have had some survivors from the final destruction of the city itself. One could presume that some Barcids survived in Punic speaking territories under the Romans in relatively high positions due to their wealth and prestigious name. Some may have almost certainly acquired citizenship. There may even have been Barcids surviving down as a distinct unit until the Vandals conquered the province of Africa, potentially even still possessing the Punic or African Romance languages.
Honestly we have no idea of knowing.
