Converting my previous comment to an answer.
This is IMNSHO a bug, reported as Trac#28814.
The conversion is incorrect in the Sage --> Mathematica direction:
sage: 0.000001._mathematica_()
-7 + 10.*e
sage: QQ(0.000001)._mathematica_()
1/1000000
A workaround is to cast those inconvenient floating point quantities to rational approximations:
sage: mathematica.N(mathematica.Sin(0.000001)).sage()
-1.0*sin(-10.0*e + 7.0)
sage: mathematica.N(mathematica.Sin(QQ(0.000001))).sage()
9.999999999998333e-07
[ Note : In general, avoiding floats in the solution of mathematical problems is IMNSHO good heuristics, if not necessarily good numerical analysis... ]

This is IMNSHO a bug, reported as Trac#28814.
The conversion is incorrect in the Sage --> Mathematica direction:
sage: 0.000001._mathematica_()
-7 + 10.*e
But doesn't affect rationals:
sage: QQ(0.000001)._mathematica_()
1/1000000
A workaround is to cast those inconvenient floating point quantities to rational approximations:
sage: mathematica.N(mathematica.Sin(0.000001)).sage()
