It depends what sort of Saxophone you're playing ; alto saxes commonly come in two different tunings, Bb and Eb. Naturally, Bb saxophones do not need transposition into a Clarinet. Eb saxes, however need transposition. To change Eb sax music into Bb Clarinet you need to transpose the notes five semitones down.
You can work this out by finding out how much distance there is between the two pieces of music. You can also work out the "concert pitch" or "real pitch" of of the instrument you're transposing it from (i.e. transposing it into C) and then transposing into the tuning of the new instrument.

Why do clarinets and saxophones transpose?
Im not sure if you meant 'why' or how' do clarinets and saxophones transpose. For the sake of logic, I will assume "How do clarinets and Saxophones transpose" as the alternative does not make sense to me. Well, quite simply, from a clarinet to a Tenor or Soprano Saxophone, there is NO transposing needed as the Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone and Soprano Saxophone are all Bb (B Flat) instruments (which means that a C on the Clarinet will sound the same as a C on those 2 saxes). However, for the Alto and Baritone saxophones, you will need to transpose, as Alto and Baritone are Eb (E Flat) instruments. One thing to note is that a Clarinet has a Register Key, while a Saxophone has an Octave Key. The register key raises the pitch of a clarinet by a 12th (19 semitones) while the Octave key raises by an octave, or 8th (12 semitones). Just something to consider when making the transition :)
