Plots (one or more) are usually made to compare quantities of the same
order of magnitude, so Mathematica has such a default plotting
feature. If there are big differences, either use a LogPlot or use a
scale factor SF in multiples of 10 to divide out the larger quantity
bringing it at par with the others for comparable plots.

SF = 10;
f = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, Pi}, DisplayFunction -> Identity];
g = Plot[Exp[x]/SF, {x, 0, Pi}, DisplayFunction -> Identity];
Show[{f, g}, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction];
