There are several reasons for the "Pardon me." after a sneeze.
You have just inadvertently exposed those around you to your germs, and made a loud disruptive noise, it is only polite to ask pardon.
You may need to excuse yourself to blow your nose, something that is impolite at table or in company, so a "Pardon me." could precede your departure.
And my favorite - It was believed at one time that when you sneeze, your soul momentarily exits your body, if the "devil" is in close attendance he could "slip in to" the vacated body. A "Pardon me." and the common response of "Bless you." was supposed to chase the "devil" away.
