The answer to this question depends on a few other factors. Tarawa lasted 76 hours, start to finish. 724 Navy and 950 Marines died directly, with another 3 Navy and 34 Marines dying of wounds later. Iwo Jima lasted 38 days, with 934 Navy and 4907 Marines killed outright, and another 48 Navy and 614 Marines dying of wounds later.

Ground casualties at Omaha on the first day come in at around 1500 dead, most suffered by the US 1st and US 29th Divisions. The airborne operations behind Omaha were very costly as well, but the 238 reported Airborne deaths are not broken out to detail which beach was supported. Source: http://www.ddaymuseum.co.uk/faq.htm It's important to note that only deaths have been factored in here. The term casualty normally includes wounded. The data is available but not necessarily enlightening. An infantryman wounded on Omaha who is killed breaking out of St. Lo fits which category? Over time, it's possible that Monte Cassino (in Italy) or the Huergen Forest (in Germany) produced more casualties than the battles you mentioned.

Tarawa
In November 20, 1943
The Islands of Makin and Tarawa were the objectives of the V- th Amphibious Corps consisting of the Army's 27th Infantry Division and the 2nd Marine Division and was code named Galvanic. Makin was the Army's target and it was defended by about 300 Japanese and 500 Korean laborers. Tarawa's 4,800 defenders were the Marine's objective, and the island was taken with 3,301 casualties including 1,000 killed. There were Japanese and Korean labor survivors. Makin had cost the 27th Infantry 66 killed and 152 wounded and 395 of Makin's defenders were killed. The biggest American tragedy of the Gilbert Islands campaign was the loss of the Liscome Bay, an escort carrier and the 642 sailors who went down with the ship. This was a US victory that the Corps commander said had "no particular strategic importance".
