I assume that HP should not change since it is mass based, but shouldn't Terrans be tougher than a Martian of the same mass?
Honestly? No. The effect of lower gravity would make it possible for Martians to have less mass for a given height or even allow them to be large land invertebrates. But it would not necessarily reduce lifting ability for a given mass.
