Why is it necessary to replace them? I suggest that you not alter the data that is inputted. If it needs to be filtered for HTML display purposes, that's fine, but you should do that filtering at the presentation level. That is, let the data being stored be the real data and then worry about the < and > characters when they're a problem.
