Well, all guitarists from good jazz fusion bands are geniuses, since jazz fusion is the hardest thing to master on guitar. McLaughlin is not underrated, it's just that people in majority don't listen to jazz fusion, so he is little known (I guess?). Those who DO know Mahavishnu Orchestra (or Shakti) think of John as one of the best.
