It’s a common saying - we don’t normally think much about the meaning of “sound” (in fact, the whole saying is used to mean “I hope you’re safe” anyway...).
If I had to guess, I’d say that the “sound” part came from the phrase “sound in mind”, which sort of means mentally stable??

“Sound” in this case means to be in good condition/uninjured :)

It’s a fixed phrase. Basically, “sound” here means in one piece, uninjured, not sick.
