Since you were at his house, it sounds like he asked for the password to your iPhone's Wi-Fi hotspot, rather than the password for your home Wi-Fi system.
If you do not want this person to have continued access to your iPhone's Wi-Fi hotspot, I would suggest changing the password for your iPhone's Wi-Fi hotspot. Make the new password one that this person does not know and cannot easily guess. If you have other passwords that are the same as, or similar to, the one that you gave away, change them as well, for good measure.
Note that having access to your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot would let this other person use your cellular data – when the hotspot was turned on, and they were within Wi-Fi range of your phone. But it would not in and of itself give them control of your iPhone or access to the data stored on your iPhone. (If you gave them your Apple Account password, an email password, etc., then you would be looking at compromised security.)

What might you mean by an unauthorized transfer from your iPhone to a Mac?
What errors or issues or messages or diagnostics are you concerned about?
As for your Wi-Fi password disclosure, the router manual or your ISP can help change the Wi-Fi password.

P.S. – You might want to be careful about going to the houses of people whom you have never met in person and only know from online. Unfortunately, there are predators out there who seek out people online and try to get them to come to their house (or to some other isolated place) for God-knows-what horrible purposes.
Giving out a Wi-Fi hotspot password that you can easily change later (if there is a later) might be the least of your worries.
