IK rigs are not exported from Blender. These have to be written in Python script to tell SFM how to apply them.

A guide is here... https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SFM/Making_custom_rigs

.. but the Workshop Auto-Rigger script works well for most humanoid models:

As far as Shape/Flex Keys, there are two options - export as SMD & VTA formats, then configure the slider controls manually in the model's QC:

Alternatively, if you export as DMX format, this can include the slider configuration within the mesh file itself, although DMX has a few limitations to consider (the main one I run into is the limit of three bone weights per vertex).
