Hmmm.... we haven't had this problem with SketchUp views before. Are you exporting JPG views straight from the SketchUp model itself? They should be a reasonable size for uploading. Or are you using another method?
Here's what we can recommend...
a) In Google SketchUp, go to 'File' > 'Export' > '2D graphic'
b) From this drop down list, change the export type to JPG
c) Save as a JPG file and upload to your design project
