Does it still work? If you play Geisha Assassin on an opponent's personality and lose the duel, can you react with Martyr?

Nope.

If you look at the current wording of Martyr, the opponent's Personality did not beat yours at Resolution, perform the action that destroyed yours, or create the effect that destroyed yours. So Martyr does not have a legal target.
