For two reasons I guess. First, the area of contact, the hand palm is wide and it distributes the impact force of the hit. The second one is that the materials involved (if I can express myself like that) is soft, it is skin to skin, and beneath the skin is soft tissue (muscle etc.) that absorbs the force of the impact, and not a bone like a fist punch.
It would also depends on the time of impact involved. If someone follows through with a slap. It will hurt a lot more than a "whiff".
