What happens to my credit hsitoryhistory if I pay before themy credit card bill is generated?

I've read that keeping theone's credit card utilization <below 20% improves your credit score. 

If, for some reason I have an expense that is >50%greater than 50% of the credit limit and I pay by credit card, and then transfer the money to the credit card account immediately, will itthe higher utilization still affect my credit score?
