Well I'm sure somebody will tell you that the best way to do it would be to open the PSU de-solder them right inside it.
However there's no reason you can't just chop them off wherever you want. Just make sure you put some tape or something over the ends so they can't touch eachother or ground out on the case (that would be a VERY BAD THING).

Cut away. It won't hurt anything. I suggest cutting inside the power supply, but that's just so that you don't have a bunch of short wires going to nothing sticking out of it. On my old power supply I cut off all the drive connectors, so that all I had left was the motherboard connector. I added a +12V wire and a +5V wire and did a custom job on it.
I'd cut the wires as well. I would cut the wires in my main rig to keep things a bit cleaner, but I anticipate upgrading the PSU sometime in the near future, and I want to retain its value for when I sell it (Antec 350w). As long as you tape off the ends, you'll be fine.
