B-major--bar the second fret. 224442 Catch the 444 with your ring finger.

G#/C--Barre the first fret 431114. The 3 on the second string is the bass C note.

E Major--022100 not really a barre chord.
or
E Major--same pattern as B-major but barre the seventh fret--779997

The numbers represent the frets. G#/C never heard of so I changed the Ab's in a G#/Ab to C's

The chord listed below are B, B (alt), G#/C#, and E. (I would have put the names above the chord shapes, but this editor is finicky about spaces!). I assume that you didn't want a G#/C but really wanted the C# bass. (The C natural bass would be REALLY discordant with a G# chord).

E: -2----7----4----7-
B: -4----7----4----9-
G: -4----8----5----9-
D: -4----9----6----9-
A: -2----9----4----7-
E: -2----7----x----7-

Notice that the E (barre) is the same as the B, slid up to the 7th fret. If you need to change between the E and B quickly, playing the 7th fret B (alt) is your best bet.
