I think that calling the flop is fine, but I would bet the turn for sure.

SB has a short stack, so maybe they might fold to the raise OTF, but if they call, then your hand becomes hard to let go, since villain would be pretty much committed.

I'm really curious to see what others think here...

Agree with with what's already been said i think we should be betting the turn and checking back most rivers.The sb is likely going to be betting the turn with a pretty high frequency so flushes are less likely now they check.And if we bet we can control the river action for the main par at least.On reasonable rivers the question for me would be can we shove for value vs the short stack with a J kicker.

He's very likely hit something on the flop and wanting to protect it with that donkbet. I wouldn't raise the flop here with J as kicker, especially not against a mid-stack who might just shove it and put you in a difficult spot to call with TP and average kicker. His check on the turn indicates that he most likely wasn't donkbetting the flop with a draw. Betting here could be a good way to get better hands to fold actually, but check behind is ok as well I think. River I would just check behind since we're not gonna get calls from worse hands anyway.
