We "give credit" to someone or "give someone credit for" something when we want to acknowledge their accomplishment or effort. Thus, when we say "He (was) always smarter (than) I gave him credit for", you acknowledged someone's good work, yet he was often even more intelligent than you thought.

Here "smarter than I gave him credit for" means "smarter than I thought he was".
