The Son of God is a particular title used of Christ. Like all titles it displays one aspect of his character or nature. Though titles MAY sound like they are contradictory, we separate and rejoin the ideas so the we understand them better, like the vav ו.
The 'Son of God' stands in contrast to the 'Son of Man'. If these titles are taken as redundancies or equal aliases for Christ, then we don't learn anything.
In Hebrew the 'Son of God' is the 'bar elohin' אלהין. Elohin is a name of God which differs from Elohim only by the last letter.
