No. CD's work by having a laser beam hit microscopic depressions in the silvery media sandwiched between two rigid pieces of plastic. Scratching a CD can make it not work, but a magnet is harmless.

todays discs are not as sensitive as older ones or those floppies we used long back. it is not a great idea to store them long term near a large magnetic force. they should be in a cool place upright not flat, some data loss has been found in discs stored flat. as free from moisture as possible also. use premium discs not supercheap , some cheapies will not fully protect the discs from even slight moisture.

CDs are OPTICAL media, not magnetic media. Placing them beside the world's most powerful magent won't affect them.
