Currently, I have this URL

www.example.com/about-us/?id=what_we_do_1

    To convert urls like

    /index.php?p=test

    to

    /index.php/test

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^/?index.php$ /index.php/%1? [R,L]

    Thus in your case 

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^/?about-us?$ /about-us/%1? [R,L]

    Similarly for other pages

    You can try these to convert underscore to dash :-

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

    After that for another url :-

    1) http://www.example.com/about-us/?id=what_we_do_1

    htaccess rule will be :-

    RewriteRule ^about-us/(.*)$ about-us/?id=$1 [QSA,L]

    It may help you.
