You're not obligated to do additional work of re-scanning images, but the bigger and higher quality the better. (: If an image is too tiny to be useful it may be deleted, but that is unlikely. However, larger and higher quality images are more likely to be designated as Quality Images or Featured Pictures. While even small images may be adequate for thumbnails in Wikipedia articles, the biggest and highest quality images would be preferable.
If your available time and/or money constrains you from providing the highest quality and largest possible images, I wouldn't worry about this, but if you have the time and money to scan the images at very high quality and resolution, that would be preferable.
