If you want the tab character, use t as the replace pattern instead of ,.
If you want just one tab (or comma) to replace multiple spaces, add + after the space:
sed 's/ +/t/g' file1 > file2

Use tr:
tr -s ' ' 't' < file1 > file2
-s, --squeeze-repeats
replace each sequence of a repeated character that is listed in the last specified SET, with a single occurrence of that
character
