What is the past tense of 손쉽다?

손쉬웠어요 in everyday polite speech, 손쉬웠습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 손쉬워 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.

Yes — it is ㅂ irregular (ㅂ 불규칙). ㅂ becomes 우 before a vowel: 춥다 → 추워요. That is why the stem looks different in 손쉬워 and 손쉬우니 but unchanged in 손쉽습니다.
