Exactly, we can just make the correction and remove the Italics....

If you're going to be an original - be prepared to get copied.

--Using [sic] Properly
Sic is a Latin term used to indicate that something incorrectly written is intentionally being left as it was in the original. Sic is usually italicized and always surrounded by brackets to indicate that it was not part of the original. Place [sic] right after the error.
Example: She wrote, "They made there [sic] beds."
Note: The correct sentence should have been, "They made their beds."
Why use [sic] at all? Why not just make the correction? If you are quoting material, it is generally expected that you will transcribe it exactly as it appeared in the original.
