No great way, but found this online and seems like it should work:

Use OsX embedded Automator to downsize screenshots automatically after they
taken.

1. Open /Applications/Automator
2. Create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top of the window, where it says "Folder Action receives file and
folders added to", select "Desktop"
4. From the panel on the left, select "Files & Folders" and drag the item
"Filter Finder Items" to the right panel.
5. Add the following conditions to the Filter Finder Items action: Name
begins with "Screen Shot"; Kind is image.
6. (Optional step: if you want to keep copy of originals) - From the
Actions list on the left, find "Copy Finder Items" and drag it to the panel
on the right. Set the destination folder for the image copy (for example:
"To: Pictures")
7. In the Actions library on the left, click on "Photos" and drag the
"Scale Images" action to the right panel.
8. In the Scale Images action, select "By Percentage" from the drop-down
and set the value to 50.
9. Select File > Save and give the Folder Action a snappy name like
"Smaller Screenshot Copy"
