It does seem a bit strange, but it might be related to how Sou was keeping all his responsibilities in order. I think that given how he had to work and raise Teru (who was probably at most in middle school), he didn't have time to introduce Riko to Teru. His relationship with Riko probably also took some time to reach the stage where they seriously considered getting married and they kept their relationship low-key (maybe they only went on dates between working hours, before he had to go home to care for his sister) and by then, Sou might have been seriously ill. It also might be a cultural thing; aside from Sou working all the time, maybe it's not a regular thing to introduce potential partners to family until they're going to marry. It might also be that Sou didn't want to burden Teru with the knowledge that he was dating, because he was concerned about how she might think she was holding him back from being happy.
