Surrogatekey is nothing but a unique number to identify the
record in datamart. So just use a counter in StageVariable
of Transformer. Keep incrementing the counter by one for
every new inserts. This would form a surrogatekey.

By using system variable in transformer stage
like 1) create a stage var(SVK).
2) go to stage var. property type in the initial value tab as @partionnum - @numpartion+1
3) in the stage var. derivation type SVK+@numpartition
