How to manually adjust symbol positioning in `underset`?
I have the following:
underset{{}^u}{sim}
which looks like the left; I would like it to look more like the right image.
The changes were shrinking the "u", bringing it closer to the tilde, and raising the whole thing so it doesn't hang below the line. I tried using a raisebox but had no success.

raiseboxapparently works only in text mode (and not in math mode). A soft hack could bypass this limitation by first creating a text environment with thetext{...}command fromamsmath, and implementraisboxinside it-- of course again surrounding the math symbol to beundersetwithin$s.

Welcome to TeX.Stackexchange.
Edit # 2
To raise the whole operator, could use scalebox from the graphics package. This translates better, as is found independent of the font size option of the documentclass (the original version doesn't scale equally well to a 10pt or 11pt document)
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{amsmath, graphics}
newcommand{upperset}[2]{:
underset{
text{raisebox{1.2ex}{smash{scalebox{0.8}{$#1$}}}}%
}
{
text{raisebox{0.2ex}{smash{$#2$}}}
}
:}
begin{document}
$x underset{{}^u}{sim} y$ quadphantom{strut}
$x upperset{{}^u}{sim} y$
end{document}
giving very near to what you wanted:

Maybe this could be a possible solution:
documentclass[12pt]{standalone}
usepackage{amsmath}
newcommand{upperset}[2]{%
underset{%
text{raisebox{1ex}{smash{fontsize{5}{5}$#1$}}}
}{#2}%
}
begin{document}
$x underset{{}^u}{sim} y$ quadphantom{strut}
$x upperset{{}^u}{sim} y$
end{document}
