Well... If you play AD, and want to kill him, don't hit him too much without sword of the divine, and if you play AP, picking someone who can burst him, and cc too, is a good choice. For example, on paper, malzahar should be an epic hard counter to jax. Not sure about 3v3. But if malzahar gets a pool down, perhaps line up the e and Q too, before ulting, jax should be obliterated, and his passive health gain shouldn't do much to help him. You may need to make sure he doesn't pop his magic resist shield. So... I believe malzahar may be a hard counter to jax.
