Granted, none of the girls were particularly big stars after the show ended, but Nancy was the only one who continued to act consistently. She's had several TV movies, little bits and parts here and there, not to mention Can't Hurry Love and Style & Substance, both of which didn't last beyond only one season, but still.
The rest of the girls are honestly a bit more difficult to keep up with. I know Mindy has done some Scooby-Doo stuff and Kim Fields was on Living Single, but that's about it. I honestly can't even remember the last time I saw Lisa Whelchel on something. A quick look at her IMDB shows her doing only a handful of stuff since FOL ended. Weird.

Hasnt Mindy has been on that scooby show for like 15 years or something? Its voice acting, but she has been steadily employed.... in comparison to the others.

I would say Kim Fields was the most "relevant"; she was on "Living Single" for that show's entire series run.

Kim Fields out of all of them stayed pretty busy in acting. Also Mindy has continued acting as well. She has been cast in several pilots most of which never got picked up as series.
It's not really fair to add Lisa Whelchel into the mix because she pretty much admitted/confirmed (if you saw her on Oprah Winfrey's Where Are They Now show on OWN) that after FOL ended in 1988 (coinciding w/ her getting married and having children), she voluntary left show business. Her first real acting job (not counting the 2001 FOL reunion movie) was in A Madea Christmas if I'm not mistaken.
The last time that I recall or had a chance to see Nancy McKeon in something was when she had a recurring role as Demi Lovato's mom on Sonny with a Chance. Also remember seeing Mindy Cohen on The Secret Life of the American Teenager not to long ago.

It'd be fun to see Mindy back with Molly after all these years. :)

I would say both Kim Fields and Nancy McKeon stayed relevant after the show.

Yeah, I think Lisa Whelchel would've been working steady and stayed "relevant' as you put it if she had decided to keep acting. But she chose to quit the acting business to be a stay at home mom and wife. If that's what she wants out of life then good for her. She was always a good actress.

Nancy McKeon: the only person relevant after FOL ended? I call BS. Can't Hardly Wait and Style and Substance never took off and were one season wonders. She did a lot of stuff for Lifetime but that is not that relevant anymore. Have you looked at the other actresses filmography over the years? Lisa Whelchel has gotten back into acting and TV with Survivor, the Tyler Perry Movie, and the recent Hallmark made-for-TV-movie. If anything, she is the MOST relevant now. Kim Fields has turned to directing/producing, and making guest-appearances but she was able to carry another TV series after FOL which we all know was Living Single. Mindy Cohn is having a successful voice-over career doing the voice of Velma in the Scooby Doo franchise.

Well as of now Kim Fields is the MOST relevant.
