Assuming you're using X, and not experimenting with Wayland:

xset -dpms

...does the trick. Note that this *only* disables standby; you'll have
to switch the screensaver off as well. I don't know if it affects
the various deskop environments' own screensavers, but...

xset s off

...will disable the one built-in to X itself.

Off the top of my head, I don't know if xset is installed by default in
Raspbian (it isn't in Arch; xorg-xset is the package there). It's a
handy little tool, and the manpage is very helpful.
