Using math mode for that frame title is rather strange, considering that you're probably using typewriter type for the semiverbatim environment:

\frametitle{\texttt{\$ find ... -exec ... \textbackslash;}}

When using math mode you need to write \backslash

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}

    \begin{frame}[fragile]%
    \frametitle{$find \ldots -exec \ldots \backslash ;$} %How to make "\;" in title ?
    \begin{semiverbatim}
    $ find -name '*.pdf' -exec cp -v '\{\}' ../pdfs \\;
    \end{semiverbatim}
    \end{frame}

\end{document}

Maybe you could consider using listings Package, which provides an rich environment for typesetting code.

Use DeTeXify. This website will try to recognize a symbol you draw with your mouse and tell you mathmode and textmode alternatives to enter this symbol. Also see this question.

For a drawn \, DeTeXify comes up with

\textbackslash textmode
\setminus mathmode
\backslash mathmode
\usepackage{amssymb} \backprime mathmode
\usepackage{amssymb} \smallsetminus mathmode
