Assuming I will not hit the $37740 contribution cap, and it is topped up before I will receive MA contributions in the year 2021 due to my employment? Thanks!

The top up period for tax relief eligibility is on calendar year basis. If you top up on 1 Jan 2021, it will be counted under YA2022 if it is tax deductible.
Whether it will be tax deductible depends on the total CPF contribution at the end of 2021.
If you are sure that your total compulsory (employer and employee) and voluntary contributions will not exceed the CPF Annual Limit at the end of 2021, then it will be eligible for tax relief. Otherwise, it will be refunded in 2022 without interest. If the total amount of CPF contributions exceed the limit, the voluntary contributions are refunded first. CPF will send you a letter with the details if there are to be refunds of voluntary contributions.
