The 2 places you should look for issues like this are your card templates and the HTML of your fields.

If it’s safe to assume that you’re importing into an unmodified “Basic” note type, then it’s not the templates.

But you should definitely take a look at the underlying HTML that is getting imported into your fields. From that preview of your CSV in the center of the screen, you’re not formatting your MathJax correctly.
