I gave them low priority and fortified armor, but still creeps will go out of their way to target them...
What else can I try here?

Priority only affects the order of the unit-types on the UI when you have multiple unit-types selected. It’s not an ai priority stat.
You could try giving the wards a variety of different classifications to see if any of them change the ai behavior. Suicidal, Ancient, and Worker come to mind.

I presumed if the OP was summoning them with the serpent ward skill then they would automatically be considered wards by default and thus just that classification wasn't sufficient. If they're created with triggers yeah Ward is another one to try.

Uhh... I have a way, but it is a bit crude.
First, does the ward is the closest unit to the creep? Creep usually attemp to attack the closest unit, so if the ward is the closest, it will be a primary target.
A way (really crude) to solve this is check if a creep attemp to attack the ward(Unit - Unit is attacked), you order them to attack the summoning hero or the closest hero instead(Unit -Order with target unit) if there are hero in an area around that.
If you don't want the ward to get attacked, give it the invurenable ability, though it will confuse the creep a lot, since they will try to run away from a invurenable enemy first.
