I created a survey that includes hints for some of the questions. If a survey record has been submitted, and then that same record is later edited by another user in AGOL's Map Viewer or Field Maps, the hint does not display below the field name. 

Survey 123 question:

Map Viewer field:

Is there a way to display the hint (as shown above) in the Edit Feature pane within the Map Viewer or Field Maps? Does a setting need to be enabled or turned on? The purpose of this is so that other field workers will understand the criteria to correctly populate the field when editing a feature (not using Survey123).

A lot of elements of Survey form design will be isolated to the Survey form. This includes hints.

Yes, you can also configure a Form in Map Viewer / Field Maps and add the hint there. The map-based editing forms are a different designer to Survey123 but support hints, notes and descriptions.

You will not be able to add a hint to the data/table directly.

That is "expected behaviour". Those other options don't support the "hint" like S123 does.
