A simpler way: You can avoid sampling neighbours by clamping the ray-march step so it never moves further than the current cell's boundary (plus a tiny epsilon). That way, you only cross into adjacent cells at the edge and avoid the 8 to maybe 26 extra SDF samples. (This only works if the geometry is entirely contained within each cell.)
