I am writing a chapter for a book. The chapter number is 5.4. The chapter has multiple sections. I would like all the figures, tables and equations in my chapter to be labelled as 5.4.X. For example, the first equation should be labelled as 5.4.1, the first table should be labelled as Table 5.4.1, the first figure should be labelled as Figure 5.4.1, and so on. How should I do this? I am writing this chapter independently and I do not have access to any files, etc. that will be used for the final typesetting. I am using documentclass article for writing the chapter.

The appendix package is not the culprit. Adding a final dot to sectioning and figure/table numbers in case an appendix is present is the documented default behaviour of KOMA-Script. To remove the dot, add the class option numbers=noendperiod.
You have to repeat the resetting at every \section in the appendix.

\section{Section one}
The main figure is Figure~\ref{Figure-1}, and the main table is Table~\ref{Table-1}. Supplemental material
includes Figure~\ref{Figure-A1} and Table~\ref{Table-A1} in the first appendix, and Figure~\ref{Figure-B1}
and Figure~\ref{Figure-B2} in the second appendix.

5.4to, say,6.7, only the\chprefixmacro needs to be adjusted.A full MWE:
