I recommend never beginning your sentence with “so”, which is a preposition. Do not begin your sentences with a preposition. See below correct sentence.

”There are ‘many’ things written here, which are not true.

— I would remove ‘actually’ and ‘a lot of’. These
words re not needed. They are not necessarily improper but not needed. See the sentence above which will make your statement more concise.

The first one is correct. I would remove the word ‘that’ from the first part of the sentence, and write - There are a lot of things they write here but they are not actually true
