This is a complex question. There is a distinction between child abuse and discipline, and each state defines it differently. There are clear cut cases: spanking a child on the butt for punishment is clearly legal, while punching the same child is clearly illegal. Outside of those clear distinctions, there is a broad amount of grey area that varies.
Essentially, it depends on what you mean by "hit," how old the child is, and what circumstances led to the hit.
