I don't think these would react with each other at all. I could easily be wrong, this is based on my memory of AP chem 6 years ago.

The Cl in hypochlorite can be reduced from +1 to -1.

The S in sulfite can be oxidized from +4 to +6.

I will let you have the pleasure of balancing the redox half-reactions yourself

NaCl + Na2SO4 dunno, just used google, lol...don't have my chemistry book here and even if I would have it...I didn't like my class that much as to do that kind of stuff on fridays.
