From the SmartThings Support pages:
If you did not grant blanket permissions for devices and instead chose them individually, use the following steps to add new devices to Alexa.
In the SmartThings app:
Tap Automations
Tap SmartApps
Tap Amazon Alexa
You will see the devices Amazon Alexa currently has access to
Tap Switches or Thermostats
Tap the checkbox for each new device Amazon Alexa needs access to
Tap Done
You can also toggle the switch for Routines to the ON state, if needed
Tap Next
Say: “Alexa, discover new devices.” (After new devices receive checks in their checkboxes, Alexa can automatically discover your new devices within an hour, but prompting the discovery will allow Alexa to control them immediately)
Wait for Alexa to confirm discovery is complete (up to 20 seconds)
Tap Done
