Does it work? If so, you can just do

[if value mv_payment eq credit]
         [discount ALL_ITEMS] $s * 1.041 [/discount]
[else]
         [discount ALL_ITEMS] $s * 1.041 [/discount]
[/else]
[/if]

...don't forget to reset the discount at the bottom of receipt.html:

         [discount ALL_ITEMS][/discount]

The upside (I guess) of this approach is that it does not call attention to 
the fact that a surcharge is being applied, but the downside is that the 
numbers on the checkout page don't add up: the subtotal is greater than the 
sum of all items ordered. An alternative might be to use (and itemize) 
mv_handling.
