Multi leg flight for two people from Asia to the US, second person doesn’t show up to second leg, what happens to baggage?

Depends on who the baggage is tagged to.
Typically, if you're traveling in a group, all the bags are linked to one person, and usually this is shown by attaching the baggage tags to that person's boarding pass.
In your case, assuming your flights are on one ticket, your bags will be tagged all the way through to LAX. If they're linked to the person who no-shows for the connecting flight, they will all be offloaded. If they're linked to the person who continues, they will all be sent to LAX. Both options sound pretty poor for you. Better options are:
- Ask them to "short check" one bag only to SIN. This is likely to be denied.
- Have the person going to ICN take everything they need in carry-on baggage, and check in nothing at all. The person going to LAX can check in bags and continue normally.
All that said, are you sure there's a financial advantage to flying to SIN in the first place? There are direct flights from DPS to ICN, or you could get cheap connecting tickets via eg. KUL or BKK on Air Asia.

Your safest way the handle this is to split the reservation. Airlines can do this easily and in most cases it's not a big deal. Just call them and ask to split it. After the split you have two independent reservations and individual PNRs. The ticket numbers stay the same, so the tickets themselves remain unchanged.
I also assume that the person that is skipping the final leg won’t be able to check any luggage at all?
Correct. There is no way for them to retrieve the luggage in SIN.
Does one set of luggage get removed?
That's a moot point. See previous question. There is only one set of luggage
If only the person that continues to the US checks luggage, I assume nothing happens, right?
I highly doubt it and I wouldn't risk it. Doing nothing feels like a significant security hole: it's not unrealistic to assume that person B (not on the flight) uses person A (on the flight but not very smart) as a mule to carry nefarious stuff for them. At they very least I would expect them to pull you out for some serious questioning.
