Correction: While we don't know the full specification of the drones' scanners, while they can locate a lifeform from some distance, they appear to rely on visual and audio cues to actually identify a specific individual. With Malcolm concealed within the stasis pod, their ability to identify him is severely compromised. With no reason to suspect that it might not be Julia, "Sally" simply didn't look too closely.

Correction: Any sensible design would include enough pods for all crew members, allowing them all to survive should a major disaster affect the ship. Thus, while the drones targeted the occupied pods, the empty pods allocated to Jack and Victoria would have remained untouched. The first pod he happens upon is labeled 01 and is empty. Through the gun scope, and once back in the tower afterwards, you see Julia's is 06. Later after he puts Julia into one, the one he drags out of the bunker is 01. And at the very end at we see the pod with Malcolm he took up to the Tet is numbered 02. So we can reasonably assume pods 01 and 02 were Jack and Victoria respectively and were not shot up by the drones because there was no one in them.
