Biologically speaking, ionic bonds are relatively weak compared to covalent bonds, especially disulfide bonds. However, are hydrogen bonds are stronger than ionic bonds?

No, on the "biology scale," hydrogen bonds are weaker than ionic bonds, but you're correct that they are both more easily broken (in a cell) than a covalent bond.
