How is the jockey affected by a handicap race?
He/she isn't, the horse is. The handicapper looks at the previous form (results) for all horses in the race and decides what weight each horse ought to carry to, in theory, make the race a dead-heat. The jockey and tack (saddle etc.) are weighed and anything below the handicap weight given to the individual horse is added as weights, into the weight cloth. Jockey and tack are weighed again after the race to check the weight, allowing a little for sweating of the jockey.

What is the lead weight carried by a horse in racing called?
Good question! In certain races (usually called Handicap) a horse's previous wins are taken into consideration. A horse that has many wins will carry extra weight in special pockets on the saddle. This is to even the odds a little when running against greener horses or horses that don't have as many wins. If you have ever seen the movie Seabiscuit you will see on some of his races he carries little square weights in the saddle. It seems unfair but I guess it's not, just a way to level out the playing field a little.
