When working with low light footage and sensitive camera chips I sometimes exerience some really bad macro blocking and other artifacts. What are you prefered methods to deal with that?

First I would check if the black point is not raised and that the shadows do not have too much contrast, I think both of these will "invite" the encoder to use a higher compression.  Sometimes it helps to add large grain noise in the blacks.
