As described in the hieroglf package manual (page 3), you need to select the hieroglyph font before using commands like \Hten. This can be done with a font switch \pmhgfamily, which uses the hieroglyph font for all following text until a different font switch is used, or with the command \textpmhg{} for which only the argument is rendered in the font (similar to for example \textbf{}).

This font selection is needed in all classes, not just for exam.

MWE:

\documentclass{exam}
\usepackage{hieroglf}
\begin{document}
These are hieroglyph numbers: \textpmhg{\Hten \Hhundred}
\end{document}

Result:
