I'm going with: they become normal empty bag/black cloth.
The important question is, do their contents spill out on the spot? Which would be SUPREMELY inconvenient.
My response to that is the following,
RAW, the Portable Hole creates an extradimensional space when it is unfolded. If a creature is inside, the extradimensional space continues to exist. The creature can attempt a DC 10 strength check to escape and appears with 5ft of the portable hole. (Note that it doesn't require the creature to go through the magic item itself.)
Using that as a frame of reference, I think the existence of "stuff" within an extradimensional space is enough to sustain that space. An anti-magic field will prevent the ability of a Bag of Holding from accessing its contents, but those contents will remain safely in a void.
While not explicitly discussed, I also think that a creature should not be able to escape a Portable Hole while in an anti-magic field. Regardless of the mechanism, the escape is most likely magical, and ought to be prevented. So, don't stuff children in bags when facing beholders.
This could be extended toward spells like Magnificent Mansion, which might cause the doorway to vanish, trapping occupants inside. I'm not certain what would happen if the Beholder was watching the location of the doorway when the spell ends...
Agreed. The extradimensional space would be separated from the object while the object is within the area of effect, rendering it a normal bag or normal black cloth. I'd also do the same if it was somehow disenchanted, leaving the items stranded in their demiplane instead of rushing back to dump in the material.
What happens to bags of holding and portable holes when exposed to the effects of a beholder main eye or Antimagic Field?

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.
Yeah, I meant to mention the extradimensional space being cut off in my reply, but got distracted.
