First off, the_field is used to echo a field’s contents, get_field is used to retrieve the fields data into into a variable, or in your case, can be used in an if statement. You also have a semi-colon after an if statement which is invalid and an empty else may had well just be removed. I’ve tied up your code a bit, give it a try.
<?php
$dlMaterials = get_field('downloadable_material');
if($dlMaterials) { ?>
<div class="material">
<h4>Supplemental Material:</h4>
<a href="<?php echo $dlMaterials; ?>"><i class="icon-download-alt"></i> - Download Supplemental Material</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php
$linksResources = get_field('links_and_resources');
if($linksResources) { ?>
<h4>Resources:</h4>
<p><?php echo $linksResources; ?></p>
<?php } ?>
