Hm, are you using preview-latex or something? Emacs doesn't do
act like that out of the box. So you have something in your
.emacs that make it do this. You have to tell us what this something
is. Go hack your .emacs untill you find what causes this behaviour.
Start with a latex file like
\documentclass{amsart}
\renewcommand{\AA}{\mathbb A}
\begin{document}
\[
\AA
\]
\end{document}

When I use preview-latex on this file I see the blackboard bold A, not
the original \AA.
