What AWS service is appropriate for storing a single key-value pair data that is updated daily? The stored data will be retrieved by other several services throughout the day (~ 100 times total per day).
My current solution is to create and upload a JSON to an S3 bucket. All other services download the JSON and get the data. When it's time to update the data, I create a new JSON and upload it to replace the previously uploaded JSON. This works pretty well but I'm wondering if there is a more appropriate way.

There's many:
- AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store
- AWS Secrets Manager
- Dynamo
- S3
^ those are some of the most common. Without knowing more I'd suggest you consider Dynamo or Param Store. Both are simple and inexpensive--although S3 is fine, too.

The only reason to not use S3 is governance of the key expires etc., automatically from AWS side - like using a secret manager - therefore, giving it to third parties will be much harder.
Your solution seems very good, especially since S3 IS the object store database - json is an object.
The system you described is such a low usage that you shouldn't spend time thinking if there is any better way :)
Just make sure you are aware that amazon S3 provides read-after-write consistency for PUTS of new objects in your S3 bucket in all regions with one caveat. The caveat is that if you make a HEAD or GET request to the key name (to find if the object exists) before creating the object, Amazon S3 provides eventual consistency for read-after-write
and to refer to your comment:
The S3 way seemed a little hacky, so I am trying to see if there is a better approach
S3 way is not hacky at all - intended use of S3 is to store some objects in the key-value database :)
