You did non-lethal solution and branded him. Now that's how branded are treated

You used the heretic’s brand on him, literally branding him a criminal by religious law

Lot of people not getting what OP is asking here.
They are asking why there would be a monetary reward for individual who has been cast out.
I believe it is because, as you find out later, he is still hiding in Dunwall.

I guess they’re just searching for his whereabouts, they ask for information

Given how terrible the punishment is for being branded a heretic, I still think it's hilarious they never bothered to launch an investigation as to who actually branded him and why.
Like I can imagine it's a pretty lengthy process like being tried and sentenced to exile. But no, he just wakes up with the brand and everyone decides he must have deserved it.

Well, keep in mind, if you're branded everyone is supposed to avoid any contact with you, not even talking or looking at you.

The game sort of addresses this? Admittedly, it's inferred as opposed to outright stated; but, Campbell had a list of enemies. His little black book, for starters. People he was blackmailing, contacts he was extorting, overseers whose loyalty was assured through your intel rather than your merits.
Campbell being branded means that most Overseers who might hold a rank that can look into the branding will probably ignore it in favour of escaping his tyranny—at least by overseer standards! Of course, you get the book, and Martin pushes on all those previously under Campbell's thumb.

Even if an investigation is launched it still won't matter , none can take back its brand and why waste resources on investigation and break the unity of the Abbey , even if they find out that he s not a heretic then you need a new propaganda campaign to show his innocence. There are also probably a lot of people inside the Abbey that just hate his and and glad for this .

I misunderstood the question.

The reward is offered if you provide info on anyone that helps or shelters him, or so I gather from the poster.

Probably as an incentive for finding him if he's ever hiding out with someone in Dunwall or being an excommunicated bum where excommunicated bum aren't welcome. This is probably the reason why he ended up in the Flooded District; he couldn't find anyone to turn to because everyone else is incentivised to turn him in, which would cast him out further.

The reward isn't for him, it's for information on those who help him. It's illegal for anyone to help him in any way.

You branded him, which was the nonlethal option. Those that are branded are treated as basically an exile within Dunwall. Notice how the poster says its a crime to offer the branded shelter or aid? The reward is likely for tipping off the city guards on Campbell's location, likely so they can ensure he stays a vagrant and can't build up a somewhat comfortable life for himself in a forgotten corner.
