There is a known issue that Blizzard is working on with stuttering graphics in SC2 on the Mac. Quite a few people have reported it, including myself. If you go to the BattleNet Mac support forum you will see some posts about it. I occasionally have the same issue, but it's not that often. I find that a reboot usually fixes it, and some other people have reported the same. Some folks just run SC2 under Windows in BootCamp as a workaround. It hasn't been that bad for me, so I still run it in OS X.

Hopefully Blizzard will figure out what's causing it and release a patch to fix it...
