When charging while mounted, a lance does double damage. Does this include damage from magic items, sneak attack etc., or only the lance's own damage and the Strength modifier?

Sometimes you multiply damage by some factor, such as on a critical hit. Roll the damage (with all modifiers) multiple times and total the results. Note: When you multiply damage more than once, each multiplier works off the original, unmultiplied damage. Exception: Extra damage dice over and above a weapon’s normal damage are never multiplied.
A +3 Flaming Lance wielded by a blackguard with a 14 Strength and Sneak Attack +2d6 would normally deal 1d8+5+2d6, +1d6 fire (assuming it's one-handed). On a mount while charging, that would change to 2d8+10+2d6, +1d6 fire.
If it scored a critical hit, you'd combine multipliers as normal - triple damage crit (x3) and double damage mounted charge (x2) becomes quadruple damage, so it would deal 4d8+20+2d6, +1d6 fire.
