Is it believed that the LS3 may also possess more than the advertised HP? Do car companies still do that?

With the SAE certification, it is impossible to "underrate" an engine. The only way is if the manufacturer chooses not to SAE Certify their engine (4.6 3v in the Mustang, 6.1 Hemi, etc.).
The LS3 and it's variances (GXP, Corvette, Camaro, etc.) are all SAE Certified.
