Hi Ryan,
I would put them in an oven safe pan, add some apple juice, then cover with foil.
Reheat at ~350°, checking often.
Kinda steam 'em, y' know?

They can also be reheated on a grill, indirectly, or wrapped in foil and stuck in the oven. Adding juice isn't necessary, imo. Once warmed - if in foil or a pan in the oven, say, 10-12 min - they can be unwrapped so as not to oversoften the bark.
Drying out comes from overcooking or over-reheating, i.e., going too long. Remove when just hot and there are no worries.

My way: preheat oven to 375. Sprinkle meat with a few drops of water and then wrap tightly in aluminum foil. This prevents loss of moisture. Cook 15 minutes and check them.

I find that microwaving works best, IMO.

Microwave? Be very careful.
Most people don't seem to know that their microwave has multiple settings.
I tell my peeps (those who buy my ribs to microwave only as a last resort. If you must microwave, put a mw safe bowl in the mw along with your ribs (uncovered). Set the mw for about 20-30% power and cook for one minute. Check the ribs and rotate (if your mw does not have a turntable). Continue in 30 second increments.
I sell my ribs in vacuum-sealed bags. The best way to heat them is to boil water; turn the pot off, toss the package in for 10 min's then cut the package open and serve.
A vacuum sealer is awesome if you like to smoke because you often cook more than you can eat. I have meat in my freezer that's over a year old. I let it thaw then use the boiling water method to heat it up.

Both the microwave and reheating in bags works - for heating. What both do is sabotage any bark texture the ribs have. If that's not important, fine. It is to me so I do neither - unless it's just an 'I'm-hungry-now-and-I-don't-care' thing. In that case whatever is quickest rules.
