We study, in the semiclassical limit, the singularly perturbed nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations $$ L^{\hbar}_{A,V} u = f(|u|^2)u \quad \mbox{in } R^N $$ where $N \geq 3$, $L^{\hbar}_{A,V}$ is the Schr\"odinger operator with a magnetic field having source in a $C^1$ vector potential $A$ and a scalar continuous (electric) potential $V$ defined by \begin{equation} L^{\hbar}_{A,V}= -\hbar^2 \Delta-\frac{2\hbar}{i} A \cdot \nabla + |A|^2- \frac{\hbar}{i}\operatorname{div}A + V(x). \end{equation} Here $f$ is a nonlinear term which satisfies the so-called Berestycki-Lions conditions. We assume that there exists a bounded domain $\Omega \subset R^N$ such that \[ m_0 \equiv \inf_{x \in \Omega} V(x) < \inf_{x \in \partial \Omega} V(x) \] and we set $K = \{ x \in \Omega \ | \ V(x) = m_0\}$. For $\hbar >0$ small we prove the existence of at least $cuplenght(K) + 1$ geometrically distinct, complex-valued solutions whose modula concentrate around $K$ as $\hbar \to 0$.
