Hi Dody,
This is similar to dealing with it off the serve. You need to just use the angle of your racket to steer the ball back. So adjust your stroke depending on the type of sidespin on the ball. If the spin is going to take the ball to you left, then angle you brat to the right and vice versa.

You will still need to adjust your angle slightly for the sidespin.
