Me:

I think it simply of a case where there was no one else who would do it. 
Probably the ideal person to do it would be Flitwick.  Hermione tells Harry 
and Ron that she heard that Flitwick was a dueling champion. CS Chapter 11 
US Ed. It may be rumor, but it makes sense since he is the charms teacher.  
However, the teachers knew that Lockhart was dangerous, just look what 
happened when he tried to heal Harry's broken arm in the previous chapter.  
So, Flitwick wouldn't go anywhere near Lockhart.

So why would Snape agree?  I'm not sure.  Maybe he saw it as something 
useful for the Slytherin's to know.  Maybe DD asked him. Maybe he justed 
like the idea of dueling Lockhart.
