I am currently using the textcmds package to get the quotation marks, but how can I fix the right quotation marks in the below latex code?
$\boldmath{\q{DIST^{V1.1}\textbf{-}SPRD}}$
What is need is this :
Fixing right quotation marks

As a workaround, you may use csquote's \MakeAutoQuote macro to define active characters which may be used instead of \mkbibquote. (In my example, I use « and ».)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\MakeAutoQuote{«}{»}
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@article{ref,
sorttitle = {Handle Quotation Marks within Article Titles},
author = {Lastname, Firstname},
title = {Handle «Quotation Marks» within Article Titles},
journal = {Journalname},
volume = {10},
date = {1},
pages = {5--10}}
\end{filecontents}
\bibliography{test.bib}
\DeclareFieldFormat{sentencecase}{\MakeSentenceCase*{#1}}
\renewbibmacro{title}{%
\ifthenelse{\iffieldundef{title}\AND\iffieldundef{subtitle}}{}
{\ifthenelse{\ifentrytype{article}\OR\ifentrytype{inbook}%
\OR\ifentrytype{incollection}\OR\ifentrytype{inproceedings}}
{\printtext[title]{%
\printfield[sentencecase]{title}%
\setunit{\subtitlepunct}%
\printfield[sentencecase]{subtitle}}%
\newunit}%
{\printtext[title]{%
\printfield[titlecase]{title}%
\setunit{\subtitlepunct}%
\printfield[titlecase]{subtitle}}%
\newunit}}%
\printfield{titleaddon}}

If you use ", these are no different in text mode, or math mode in terms of how you use them, although the spacing is a slightly different. However, as Mico pointed out is you use the recommended approach of ``...'' to obtain the double quotes, then this needs special handing inside math mode.
If you desire single quotes you can use the solution from How to get the closing single quote in math mode:
If possible you should put the quotes outside of math mode.
Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\mlq}{\mathord}{operators}{``}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\mrq}{\mathord}{operators}{`'}
\begin{document}
\textbf{Text mode:}\par
``abc'' \qquad\qquad\quad `abc'
\bigskip
\textbf{Inline Math:}\par
$``\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)"$ \quad $\mlq\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)\mrq$
``$\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)$'' ~\quad `$\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)$'
\bigskip
\textbf{Display Math:}
\[
``\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)" \qquad \mlq\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)\mrq
\]
%
\[
\text{``$\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)$''} \qquad \mlq\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)\mrq
\]
\end{document}

A first problem with your code is that you start math mode too soon. For sure, do consider replacing
with
The outcome of making this change -- shown in the second row of the screenshot below -- isnt' parcicularly satisfying from a typographic point of view, though, as the spacing between the letters in the strings "DIST" and "SPRD" obeys math-mode intead of text-mode rules. To get around this issue, do encase the words in either
\mathitor\mathrmwrappers.Finally, it's not clear to me if it's even a good idea to use math mode here. For sure, do also consider writing the expression in pure text mode, as follows:
That's what's shown in the fifth row in the following screenshot.
Here's some sample code that generates all five possibilities.
