Because, although he eventually did the honourable thing and married Lydia they were still considered scandalous for having run away together, lived together unmarried and to have married away from the bride's parish without prior announcement. Sending them off to the North both ensured that the family would be distanced from the scandal and that Wickham would maintain an income, given both his and Lydia's taste for the finer and more frivolous things in life this is essential. althoug it is mentioned that both Lizzie and Jane supply them with extra money behind their respective husband's backs.
Basically the Bennets are ashamed of them and want them as far away as possible and Wickham needs to be earning or they'll just crawl back and live off the family.
