Both would be understood by a cooperative reader/listener, but "lowered (someone's) standardS FOR X" (where X is something that can be judged as being good enough or not by some criteria) is far more common (looking at the corpus of contemporary American English, and Google's n-gram viewer). "Standards" plural is more common than "standard" singular, and "for" is more common than "on." Indeeed, "standards on X" occurs mainly in sentences where X is not a thing being evaluated, such as "they imposed their standards on someone," where the "on" is due to the verb "imposed" -- which is not the meaning you want. (Or in sentences like "they based their standards on old-fashioned ideas," where the "on" is again due to the verb, and not referring to something about which some standard is being set, which is your case -- and in which "for" is the usual preposition.)
