The answer

The name "Sa'd" is a good name because it carries a beautiful meaning of happiness, and it is the opposite of ill-fortune. Great figures of the Ummah, such as the Companions Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas and Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with them both, were named Sa'd. It is a widespread and acceptable name. Therefore, there is no need to change your son's name.
