There is no way to specifically block 302 redirects to your site from other domains. The only thing you are able to do is block referrals which are not coming from within your site but this would prevent linking in which is not a good practice for SEO.

As for your concern regarding hijacking your SERP ranking it won't work by 302 redirecting to you. The only way that would work is for your site to be compromised and 302 redirected to the offenders site.
