You generally cannot add just $1 directly to your Steam Wallet because of transaction fees, with $5 being the typical minimum for direct adds; however, you can buy and redeem a $1 Steam Wallet gift card from third-party sellers (like Eneba, G2A, or Driffle) to get that $1 in your account. While some older methods involved "inspecting" code in the browser to set custom amounts, these are unreliable and might violate terms of service, so gift cards are the most straightforward way for small amounts.
