Add a local mesh sizing control to force smaller elements to be created around the deformation zone. That will cause smaller facets to be created in the STL export of the deformed shape and they will be smoother than the large facets from the current mesh.  Then as Erik mentioned, the facets can be further smoothed using the tools on the Facets tab of SpaceClaim.
