What does this mean?

I think its something to do with when you're editing something to show you've changed it, I'm really not sure though.

Explain, please.

[sic] would be used if you quoted it verbatim (exactly, intentionally including mistakes)

If you altered it, then, you would put your alterations in [brackets], right?

Thus; so. Used to indicate that a quoted passage, especially one containing an error or unconventional spelling, has been retained in its original form or written intentionally.
