You have to create the records. See also (emphasis mine):

Isolation of Test Data from Organization Data in Unit Tests
Starting with Apex code saved using Salesforce API version 24.0 and later, test methods don’t have access by default to pre-existing data in the organization, such as standard objects, custom objects, and custom settings data, and can only access data that they create. However, objects that are used to manage your organization or metadata objects can still be accessed in your tests such as:
- User
- Profile
- Organization
- AsyncApexJob
- CronTrigger
- RecordType
- ApexClass
- ApexTrigger
- ApexComponent
- ApexPage
You can create an org default setting in a variety of ways. One such:
MySetting__c defaults = MySetting__c.getOrgDefaults();
defaults.SomeField__c = 'Some Value';
upsert defaults;
