You're baking a new normal map instead of re-baking an existing image of a normal map exported from the blend .
There is no difference between a diffuse texture and a normal texture to blender, both are just images. If you will replace the diffuse texture in the material with the normal map, it will re-bake it the same exact way.
- select the new uv map, in uv editor select everything with A and assign a template;
- re-arrange the uvs;
- with all uvs selected, create a new image, change its height to 2048, optionally change the Alpha to 0, click Ok;
- change Timeline to Shader editor, choose Add, in the search bar type in Image, choose Image texture, do not plug it into anything;
- in the drop down choose Diffuse image, select this node;
- in Render tab switch to Cycles, expand Bake menu, set it up like in pic, bake;
- Image - Save as;
- after this you replace the diffuse texture in the material with the normal map exported from s4s and click Bake again, then save it;
- select uv_1, create a new uv map out of it with +, then delete both uv_0 and uv_1;
- rename UVMap to uv_0, UVMap.001 to uv_1;
- join the body back with the garment
