not sure what you are asking. right beside the SRAM macro you don't place anything, it's empty space left that way on purpose for routing signals in/out and for power isolation.
on the macro itself, you usually have periphery cells that guarantee the bitcells are not influenced by any weird layout next to it.
 
Generally Endcap cells are placed around the memories .
There are two different kinds of endcaps which are placed , top-bottom endcaps and left-right endcaps . Top-bottom endcaps are responsible for providing well continuity to the standard cell on the site rows above the endcaps , whereas left-right endcaps are responsible to guide the fab lab the end of site rows. Generally a margin is given in conjugation of hard blockages before placing the endcaps.
