After updating my phone suddenly the system data storage has been growing to over half of my iPhone even with me deleting apps and resetting my phone. I can only delete so many apps, I need them for work. How do I stop this?

The only way to reduce System Data is to backup your iPhone, then restore your iPhone from your backup. If you do this using your computer, it tends to be the most successful, but you can also do it directly on your iPhone.
