This is expected behavior.  You need to source tzset.sh into your
environment instead of executing tzset.sh in a child environment.  The
parent process will not take on the environment of the child.

$ . /etc/profile.d/tzset.sh

Notice the . and space.

Alternatively you could

$ source /etc/profile.d/tzset.sh

Also

$ help source
