Recent problem with our SCOM system is that we are getting email alerts arriving and hour after the incident has occured. Any ideas as to how I might be able to troubleshoot?

Can you compare when the alert is generated in the console to the receipt at the SMTP server? Is the mail being backed up by your SMTP server? Microsoft Corporation
