>From ?plotmath, it looks like when using expressions you set the font
inside the expression (e.g. bold(x)). It looks you tried this already
but I wonder if there was something tiny out of place since the
following works for me:

text(25000,0.00003,bquote(bold(sigma==.(mySigma)),list('mySigma'=format(round(sd(Data),digits=3),big.mark=","))),
col='blue')
