Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets.

The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.

What do you end up with if yuh cut a magnet in half?

Cutting a magnet in half will result in two smaller magnets, each with its own north and south poles. This happens because the magnetic properties are not lost when the magnet is cut.
