As mentioned, Jax should probably invest in more AP than usual. Thornmail is not too effective against Jax considering that he usually buys decent lifesteal and a significant portion of his damage is magical, plus he doesn't tend to go into crit.

Frozen Heart is something that pretty much all teams should get every game, especially with a Jax on the other team. While it will diminish your damage output, sticking with your usual build should enable you to do excellent damage still.

Don't forget some tankiness, these items will handicap you severely if you attempt to go glass cannon, but with a few defensive items you should be fine. Also, remember that targets with Thornmail should generally not be touched until they are the last member(s) of their team alive (hence why Thornmail is held in such low regard, as it is virtually useless against good teams).
