Use split in list comprehension:
L = ['abc','def','asd,trp','faq']
L1 = [y for x in L for y in x.split(',')]
print (L1)
['abc', 'def', 'asd', 'trp', 'faq']

You can iterate over the list and check if a comma exists and if it does, split and extend, if not, append to an output list.
lst = ['abc','def','asd,trp','faq']
out = []
for item in lst:
if ',' in item:
out.extend(item.split(','))
else:
out.append(item)
Output:
['abc', 'def', 'asd', 'trp', 'faq']
Since you tagged pandas, using pandas, you can also do:
out = pd.Series(lst).str.split(',').explode().tolist()
