Leaving aside why this was 'abbreviated' in the first place (perhaps this rule is English language only, and not French) ... but in general, "St" is not an abbreviation, but a contraction for the word "Saint". This means it should not have a 'dot' at all in the first place, i.e. St Germain. Compare to "Street", which is an abbreviation, e.g.: "St George St.". The same goes with other contractions vs abbreviations, e.g. "Dr Jekyll" but "Prof. Hyde".

The following should produce what you want. You can use an optional argument to specify another letter than T (e.g. t):
documentclass[]{article}
newsaveboxmyboxA
newsaveboxmyboxB
newcommandsaint[1][T]
{%
begingroup
sboxmyboxA{S}%
useboxmyboxA
sboxmyboxB{tiny#1}%
rlap{raisebox{dimexprhtmyboxA-htmyboxB}{useboxmyboxB}}%
makebox[wdmyboxB]{.}%
endgroup
}
