In most cases they dont. The Antlers are an integral part of a Reindeer and it stays with the animal as long as it is alive. Some reindeers may lose part or full of their antlers during a fight with another reindeer or due to old age but it is not a common phenomenon.

If Santa's reindeer were real, they would likely be the R.t. platyrhynchus subspecies from the Svalbard islands off of Norway. Most male (and some female) reindeer grow antlers, but males lose their antlers in winter or spring, so it's possible that Rudolph would not have had antlers during his Christmas flight.
