I have snmpd running on all the servers I support. I query these servers with snmpget -v 1 -c public IPADDRESS system.sysUpTime.0 to determine 1) if the server is up and 2) how long the server has been running (in theory). Some servers never reload the snmp deamon, others reload it at 4AM making me think the server rebooted due to a problem or power issue. Is there any way I can configure snmp to prevent it from reloading skewing the uptime value?
Logrotate is at 4AM Sunday EST which is when the SNMPD received a TERM or STOP signal.
It doesn't happen every Sunday. This is a random occurrence (if you can call Sunday at 4AM random).
And is logrotate set-up to rotate anything regarding snmp on that system?
Sounds to me like a weekly cron-job. So if snmpd were part of what logrotate
thinks needs watching during rotation that would explain it?

No. It does NOT happen weekly, or monthly but randomly on Sundays at same time logs get rotated.
