If you want to use a relative path to something in a workspace folder for the url property of a JSON schema setting item, you need to define that setting in the workspace settings (<workspace-folder-path>/.vscode/settings.json) instead of in the user settings. Related docs are here.
If you insist to define it in the user settings.json, I think you need to use an absolute path.
I think this is a sensible design. User settings apply to all workspaces, so if if relative paths were supported there, it would be an assumption that every single folder you open as a workspace would have a schema file that you'd want to use at such a path (presumably relative to the workspace folder, which I think would be a rather poor assumption, or lead to surprising users (in a bad way)).
Also note that if you want to specify schema files on a per-JSON-file-basis, you can use the $schema property in the JSON file you want to be validated to specify the schema to use.

JSON Schema - Resources, Notes, and VSCode Tips | Joshua's Docs
They added something called JSON language indicator, which is an indicator / button in the bottom status bar - it shows you the current schema being used, and if you hover over it, even provides a link to open the exact schema definition files being used for validation. 💡 If you want the full schema name to always be displayed in the status bar, you need to pin it. Hover over the indicator, then click the pin button. Some older (and much harder) approaches can still serve some purpose, if you are looking for lower-level info. One hard way is to built VSCode from source, and debug the JSON language service.
visual studio code - VSCode json.schemas - run validator on command line - Stack Overflow
You can see a VSCode inline warning screenshot as an example. My question is: How can I run this custom validator through the command line? Is it possible to integrate it with ESLint or something? My end goal is to integrate it on CI/CD to run during Pull Requests and log the warnings (or even mark them as errors). ... JSON Schema ... More on stackoverflow.com

July 20, 2025[json] schema validation in a folder of a workspace stops working when more folders are added to it
The schema validation has stopped working as if the file did not match the fileMatch in the folder settings. Removing the second folder and reloading makes it work again. As a note, if you open folder-A directly in VSCode rather than the workspace, the validation works as expected. More on github.com

OpenApi schema validation
So, in short, the native vscode schema validation has been a pivotal tool with our bigger declarative APIs. It is easy enough to setup file/language associations or $schema references for these individual endpoints. The problem changes when we start talking about an OpenAPI spec. Now we have many schemas for many different endpoints. As a prototype, I am able to open a json ... More on github.com

[json] schema validation in a folder of a workspace stops working when more folders are added to it · Issue #147865 · microsoft/vscode
April 21, 2022 - { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "title": "Test", "description": "An example schema", "type": "object", "properties": { "requiredProperty": { "type": "string" } }, "required": [ "requiredProperty" ] } Check that the test.json file is being validated correctly. Add a second folder to the workspace. In my test I added an empty folder in the same root as the workspace. The validation still works as expected. Reload the window or close/open VSCode.
