This is related to https://github.com/Shopify/shopify_transporter/issues/134 and I think it happened because the process was early exited, or the file was manually edited.

For anyone else running into this, this error is caused if the order file being converted has any JSON validation issues. Checking the file for valid JSON formatting can reveal any issues. In this case, it was an extra , at the end of the list of JSON orders.
