This phrase works best when you’re nervous about someone liking something you’ve done. If you’ve put a lot of pressure on the situation, the “relief” comes when someone says they approve of whatever you did.
Imagine you’ve set up a date with your partner. You might worry you picked the wrong venue. They like it. You can say “that’s a relief” because you feel the relief when they tell you they like your choice.
We do not think “that’s a relief” works well formally. You should not use it in business emails because it sounds strange. Stick with “glad you liked it” in these cases.

There is a bit of a difference between the tense of “like.” You may say “glad you like it” or “glad you liked it,” depending on the situation.
“Glad you liked it” refers to someone liking something in the past. Use “liked” when you have previously checked with someone to see if they enjoy something.
“Glad you like it” means you have only just shown something to someone. “Like” is in the present tense, showing that they are still actively “liking” whatever you’re showing them.
