Well that's cos Magicians are humans with special powers, while Demigod are...well Half-God. Demigods are generally harder to kill because they have access to things that provide increase healing factor (aka Ambrosia or Nectar), most are hardwired for battle and I'm pretty sure it was mentioned at one point that demigods also have increased durability.

Magicians again, are humans. To be good at fighting, they actually have to start from scratch just like most of us. Even their special abilities come with a drawback, that being, use too much of it and they literally burn up.

Personally it's much better for Magicians to win battles using wit rather than strength most of the time. Magic is known as the principle that requires a lot of practise and knowledge, so having the Magicians win by outsmarting opponents is rather fitting.
