Abstract: We show that the normalized supercharacters of principal admissible modules, associated to each integrable atypical module over the affine Lie superalgebra $widehat{sl}_{2|1}$ can be modified, using Zwegers' real analytic corrections, to form an $S{L}_2(mathbfZ)$-invariant family of functions. Using a variation of Zwegers' correction, we obtain a similar result for $widehat{osp}_{3|2}$. Applying the quantum Hamiltonian reduction, this leads to new families of positive energy modules over the $N=2$ (resp. $N=3$) superconformal algebras with central charge $c=3(1-frac2m+2M)$, where $minmathbf{Z}_{geq0},Minmathbf{Z}_{geq2}$, gcd$(2m+2,M)=1$ if $m>0$ (resp. $c=-3frac2m+1M$, where $minmathbf{Z}_{geq0},Minmathbf{Z}_{geq2}$ gcd$(4m+2,M)=1)$, whose modified supercharacters form an $S{L}_2(mathbfZ)$-invariant family of functions.
