The USB descriptor does not affect how much power the PC supplies to the device. At best it will change the over current limit on that port. This is just caused by ohmic losses in your cable, try using the USB cable that came with your phone, it should drop less voltage when the relay is powered on.
Assuming ~100mA per relay, the combined resistance of the +5V and GND wires would be 2 ohms, which is a reasonable value for USB cables.
The best solution to this would be to power the relays from an external source, eg. add a stepdown converter that provides power to the relays from your stepper power supply.

The base board I made has its own USB connector, so I used a standard inkjet printer USB cable. Maybe it has too much resistance on the 5V conductor.

I have a 5.07V without addition load,
4.66V with 20 Ohm load
and 4.35V with 10 Ohm load.
So It's about 440mA. I have the same conditions with empty mcu flash and without any mcu or other devices. It seems like both wire and host usb controller internal resistances.
For your purposes use the external power supply.
