Does anybody know, what is the convention for putting special functions such as Bessel and Hankel functions in math formulas. Are they supposed to be italicized like variables, or in math-text font, like sin, cos, tan, etc. Cos there is no macro for Jn and Hn in the math palette.

They have to be upright like sin, cos etc.

You can define your own macro for 'Jn' if you write the following line into the preamble:

\DeclareMathOperator{\Jn}{Jn}

If you type now the command \Jn in a formula, you'll get the same as if you type \sin - upright letters with a half space before them.
