On a pap smear result, this just means that some kind of inflammatory process is happening that caused the cells to look a little off, but not on the precancerous/cancerous spectrum. It has no clinical meaning -- in other words, health care providers who look at Pap results and decide if they should recommend further evaluation and treatment for the patient do not order any such evaluation and treatment based on "reactive cellular changes."
