I made a steerer last week intending to use but, things came up and was unable too. I took a sanitized mason jar and placed it in the refrigerator. Is it still good?

Yes but if you have a few days before brewing I'd get it started again just to wake it up again. If you don't have the time, it should be perfectly fine:)

How long will it keep for?
 
As long as you need but it will loose about 5% of viability per week.
So if you intend to keep it in fridge for a while it would be wise to make starter to wake them up.
