If you're constructing a sentence that has two independent clauses connected by a semicolon and the first sentence happens to end with a quotation mark, hypothetically, the semicolon would go inside of the ending quotation mark. This is rarely the case, though. Typically, quotations end in either a comma and a conjunction, a single comma, or simply a period.
