Should I just have called the re-raise or even lay down my hand pre-flop? Unless I folded to his re-raise I would probably have ended all-in on that kind of flop, but for future reference it would be nice to know what the right decision is.

You definitely have to push All-In here.
Your Stack left is only 3,75 x "Last Bet" and with JJ you go All-In up to 5 x "Last Bet" according to the ShortStackStrategy.

Let's do some calculations:
If we assume our opponent reraises us with TT+,AKo/s (TT,JJ,QQ,KK,AA,AKo,AKs)
JJ wins the pot 43% of the time. (According to Pokerstove)

The whole pot would be 4,75$ (your Stack) + 4,75$ (Opponent's Stack) + 0,35$ (Blinds) = 9,85$
You have to invest 3,75$, which equals 38% of the pot!

As you will win 43% of the time, you show a nice profit of 5% of the whole pot, which equals 0,49$!
