SB is 19/16 over 81 hands, 1.5 AF.

I don't know how to play AKo (or AKs) preflop and when to shove it. In late positions I just 4bet shove it almost all the time. But is it ok ? Please, try to explain me how to read particular spots, where AK 4bet shove PF is bad ?

Party, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $11.28 (112.8 bb)
BB: $3.29 (32.9 bb)
UTG: $2.78 (27.8 bb)
MP: $11.99 (119.9 bb)
Hero (CO): $10.05 (100.5 bb)
BTN: $27.13 (271.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A K
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.30, BTN raises to $1, SB raises to $2.50, BB folds, Hero raises to $10.05 and is all-in, BTN folds, SB calls $7.55

Flop: ($21.20) 7 Q 4 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: ($21.20) 7 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($21.20) 6 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: $21.20 pot ($1 rake)
Final Board: 7 Q 4 7 6

About the AK - it is all dependanton the table, the dynamics, the villains before and after you,the stack sizes.....

About the hand you posted - after the push and the call, you have to think very carefully.

Here, I will fold when two players is all in and the board is flushed.

Normally I would flat the three bet if you have position or 4bet/shove out of position. However, after someone else joins the hand with a 4bet Id lay it down. You'll see AA/KK almost always here.

I'd fold my AK preflop after the cold 4bet.

Fold is good for me to.
At the very best it's likely a race against QQ or AK, BU has still to act as well and we have ace high.

Because very often you will face KK or AA, rarely AK or QQ. If the guy who made the 4bet is a big agressive fish then I would get it in as you did. Otherwise it's an easy fold for me.
