The good grappler fosters fear in you. They nurture your fear of the SPD, punishing you everytime you leave yourself open to avoid their terrifying grasp. Knowing their game can help you in making decisions and reads.

Specific answers to stuffing the grab include jumping, backdash, and grab immune DPs.

Free Tip -> If you ever drop a combo and get SPDed, next time you start a combo, break it yourself with a neutral jump and HP/HK and reset. That Gief is probably spamming SPDs during your combo waiting for you to drop it and will be vulnerable to this trick.

Jump

Jump or backdash to avoid command grabs.

He got a successful read. Perhaps conditioning you to meaty him after a brief period of no SPDs. If you walked backwards on his wake-up instead, you'd have landed a combo.

If you're getting read constantly, it might be time to watch your replays and see if you're falling into predictable patterns.

If you already combo'd him to put him down, then you've already done your job.
No need to stand in his wake-up grab zone and complain about it.

Stand back, let him up and wait to punish him at a decent range over and over until its game.
OR if you wanna live that life, time it and jump with an attack if you know he's spamming grabs on wake-up.

If he keeps getting you with a wake-up grab (where he's immobile on the floor with almost zero options), then you're LETTING him.

When he's on the ground, you have ALL the options available while he has very limited ones.

Pick the right ones.

Why do I feel like you faced me :)

Meaty attack beat command grabs on wake up. Just punch him when he's getting up. Hell, normal throws beat command grabs on wakeup.

Unless it's his level 3 super. In which case you're boned. Your only option there is to jump. But if he already started the animation before you jumped, there's nothing you can do because it's a "frame 0" grab. You have to jump before the level 3 even comes out.

what probably happened is you miss timed your meaty so the SPD grabs your normal during recovery. you have to make sure your meaties are air tight against any grappler.
