I have always kept my South Dakota residency. My driver's license, car registration, and voter registration is always through them. I've never had an issue.
With the Residency Relief Act, from my understanding of it, it allows the spouse to pay state income taxes for whatever their state of residency is. For example, my state of residency is South Dakota so if I was working in, say Washington, I wouldn't have to pay Washington state income tax, I'd pay South Dakota state income tax (which they don't actually have).
Before the act was passed, DH was able to claim SD as his state of residency for tax purposes but I would have to claim the state we lived in for state income tax purposes.
I'm not sure if that makes sense and I'm sure

Your tax preparer was wrong. Where did you get your taxes done?
I believe that up until the MSRRA was passed in 2009, you would have been legally obligated to change residency every time you moved.
