A 006 No; yes.

Sudden Leap follows the Jump rules:

All Jump DCs given here assume that you get a running start, which requires that you move at least 20 feet in a straight line before attempting the jump. If you do not get a running start, the DC for the jump is doubled.

The "running start" requires movement just before the Jump; movement other than just before that would be a running precursor but not a running start.

Movement During a Charge
You must move before your attack, not after.

There is no movement in a Charge after the attack, so that movement fails to be a running start for a Jump check.

A move action with movement of at least 20' in a straight line immediately preceding the Sudden Leap swift action would satisfy the running start requirement of Jump.
