  {
    err.postalCode = "Zip Code is Required.";
  } else if ( props.countryCode === "US" && !/^[\d]+\-*[\d]\{9}$/.test( props.postalCode ) )

This should match 5 digits, and optionally 4 more digits. The hyphen in between is optional.

/^[0-9]{5}-?([0-9]{4})?$/

I've used this library which also handles international postal codes: https://github.com/Cimpress-MCP/postal-codes-js/
