I am new to the moto g and I needed to reset it so I did it via recovery mode and while I was there I seen an option to install an update from sdcard I was wondering if you were able to flash SuperSU with that but I wasn't sure if it would work or not, would you be able to flash SuperSU via that?

If you're rooted then the most likely but You'll need a custom recovery Cuz won't verify the signature
 
Yes, this. The stock recovery has the ability to flash official, signed updates. That's how OTA updates work. But to flash a superuser mod you'll need a custom recovery, which means bootloader unlocks or whatever the recommended method is for that handset to install it.
