Please try below code. 
trigger EmployeeMaster  on SP_Master__c (after insert,after update) 
{
	Set<id> EmployeeRecords  = new Set<ID>();
	
    for(SP_Master__c sp : trigger.new)
    {
        if( sp.Active__c == true && sp.Employee_Code__c )
        {
            EmployeeRecords.add(sp.Employee_Code__c);
        }
    }
    
	list<Employee_Master__c> EmpMaster = [select id,Name,SP__c from Employee_Master__c where id IN :EmployeeRecords and SP__c = false ];
    
    for( Employee_Master__c empM : EmpMaster )
    {
        empM.SP__c = true;
    }
     
    if(EmpMaster.size()>0)

Hi Supriyo,

Please let me know here which one is the Parent and which one is child.

For this we need to write the Trigger like below ,

if Employee Master is parent and Sp Master is a chaild then we need to write like this 

trigger EmployeeMaster on SpMasterobject(after insert,after update)
{
    set<id> EmployeeRecords = new set<ID>();
    map<id,Employeeobject> dat = new map<id,Employeeobject>();
        
    for(SpMasterobject sp:trigger.new)
    {
        if(Active__c == true)
        {
            EmployeeRecords.add(sp.ParentEmployeeIDs);
        }
    }
    list<Employeeobject> Emp = [select id,Name,checkboxparent from Employeeobject where ID IN:EmployeeRecords];
    
    
    
    for(Employeeobject Em:Emp)
    {    
        dat.put(Em.ID,Employeeobject);
    }
    
    for(SpMasterobject sp1:trigger.new)
    {
        dat.get(sp1.EmployeeID).EmployeeCheckbox = true;    
    }
    
    if(dat !=null && dat.size()>0)
    {
        Database.update(dat.values());
    }
}

You can do the same the process bulider or workflow also. Please check below sample of process builder to update all child Contact base on account field changes

Sample code for you also 
trigger EmployeeMaster on SP_Master__c( after insert,after update )
{
    Set<id> setId = new Set<ID>();
        
    for(SP_Master__c sp : trigger.new)
    {
        if( sp.Active__c == true)
        {
            EmployeeRecords.add(sp.id);
        }
    }
	
    list<Employee_Master__c> EmpMaster = [select id,Name,Active__c from Employee_Master__c where SP_Master__c IN :EmployeeRecords and Active__c = false ]; 
	// please add Field Name properly
	
	for( Employee_Master__c empM : EmpMaster )
	{
		empM.Active__c = true;
	}
	
    
    if(EmpMaster.size()>0)
    {
