Underscore usually takes a direct object. Different prepositions add method, context, or time information rather than forming fixed combinations.
Use underscore with a direct object: underscore a point, underscore the importance. By can introduce a method, with can introduce supporting details, and during can add time context.
These forms are not interchangeable. Choose the construction by meaning, not by which preposition appears most often.
