If someone said something past tense is it appropriate to say that 'someone had said' Why isn't it just 'someone said'?

It is the pluperfect tense when we use "had."
It is often used with the word if to reinforce something that didn't happen but could have. For instance, "He didn't say sorry but if he had said sorry she would have forgiven him."

"Someone had said" is used to indicate that the action occurred before another past event. "Someone said" simply states the action happened in the past. The use of past perfect ("had said") helps to clarify the sequence of events when discussing multiple actions in the past.

Not if the narrative is describing present tense. That is, if the narrative is describing what is happening right now. However, if it is mixing the tense, then it would be wrong.
