That's a great point, Barry, and it goes a long way towards determining the time period that the card was cut.

I think SGC handles them best by requiring that the card meets the minimum size requirements as outlined in the Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards and, if it does, they simply grade the card based on overall presentation the same way as they would grade any other card. It is up to the collector to know what issues are hand-cut and I don't believe it is necessary to include that information on the grading label.
