I am using South for database migration for a Django project. And I was wondering if it is a good idea to commit the migration scripts that were generated by my dev server to the repository & then reusing it on the production server?

Yes. That is the point of migrations to allow you to develop and test database schema changes and then deploy in test and production in a reproducible way.
I wouldn’t consider it reuse so much as developed and tested in development and then deployed on production.
Make sure you also develop and test backward migrations to ensure you can retreat.
