Magnetic fields will only protect you from charged particle radiation anyway. EM radiation is a whole different story and needs a special atmospheric composition for e.g. hard UV to be filtered. Venus does have a small ozone layer, but it's 100 times less dense than earth's. So you'd get sunburn immediately if you walk outside without a full body protective suit.
