The rate for this type of tax is determined by the legislature of each state. The state tax is obligatory for all, regardless of their residence status in the US.
Some employers are not very familiar with the provisions of J-1 visa and they have wrongly deducted your Social Security Tax and Medicare Tax, like any regular American. Revenue thereof coming into the federal budget, their size is the same for all states. In some cases this type of deductions named „ FICA”.
