Step 1 is to find all your weights, including:
-Actual trailer weights how it sits now (not how it was built at the factory)
-Trailer static tongue weight
-Front and rear weights of your Sante Fe, with and without the trailer.
It's a lot of work, but only that will tell you if its a potential hitch setup issue, or if you're just simply overloaded.
Choppiness or surging in some cases is caused by a flex in the hitch system (but sometimes just under-damped suspension on either the TV or trailer), so it's important to find out for sure what's going on.
