Not unless it's a very strong magnet.
If the case was designed for an ipod, then you should be ok.

It takes industrial power magents to mess up a hard drive. NO magnet in the home or most businesses would do it (hard drives are a LOT different than floppies in how they use the magnetic memory!)
HOWEVER- some bigger magnets (big TVs or speakers, for example) MIGHT damage other parts of the hard drive- possibly forcing a reset or so forth.
