Anything that relied on the merged artist will automatically be
transferred over.  If this leaves duplicate releases, you can merge
them from the release pages.

Incidentally, if the releases are duplicates, and you did not add
extra information (ARs, DiscIDs, PUIDs, etc.) it may be easier to just
delete the newly added releases than to merge them, as most of the
information will probably already be in the old release and merging
does not allow much control over what data the merged release should
retain.
