There's a difference: when a character is weak to something, it is a severe issue, like kryptonite and red sunlight for Superman that, if prolonged, can kill him or rob him of his powers.

In regards to magic versus Kryptonians, they aren't weakened by it: it simply effects them the same as everyone else. For a Kryptonian example, Cheetah's claws are embued with magic, so when she scratches at Supergirl, it cuts her skin the same as a human or other species. If Supergirl were weak to magic, she'd start to gradually lose her powers to it ala Kryptonite, but she doesn't.

Main point being Superman may not "be any good against magic", but that alone can't automatically be counted on to bring him down. Over his career, I wouldn't put it past Superman to come up with strategies to avoid getting hit by magic attacks upon discovering his opponent uses it.
