If there is a membrane with a high concentration of H+ on the left, and a lower concentration on the right, with a H+ pump maintaining this; would the polarity of molecules on the right of the membrane be affected? I've searched on Google but nothing seems to come up. Thanks for your help!

The polarity will not be affected because it is an intrinsic property of the molecule.  The molecule may ionize but that's not the same thing.

This is interesting.  If this situation existed, then polar molecules would likely align themselves with the membrane.  Non-polar molecules would not become polar unless they can react with the hydrogen ions to produce a new substance.

This is just my thinking - no specific ideas even though I teach chemistry in high school.
