If your degree has a concentration, would you list that on your resume?
For example, if I had a BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Social Science, how would that be put on the resume?

Yes. To many people, “liberal studies” either sounds like “undeclared” or they may think it is promoting your political bent, neither of which will serve you well in the job market for many positions. I would put BA Liberal Studies (concentration: Social Science) on my resume.

I think you should only list the concentration if it applies to the specific job you are applying for.
Like, if you majored in English, with a concentration in Creative Writing, you should probably list the concentration when applying to be a Creative Writing teacher. But for some other kind of job not involving a lot of writing, you probably wouldnt need to list it.

Yes, list it. If the degree is just in Liberal Studies, then it will look like you took only introductory courses. With a concentration, it will look much stronger, like you did some things in depth.
