I would likely just fold on the flop
No reason to believe sb is leading there light and you have second pair which likely isn´t good
you can put pressure to his hand, don´t really see too much reason for that if you can just fold on the flop

A lot of reasons not to do what you did - limped pot (i.e. people can have even the funkiest of hands), sb donks into 2 players (i.e. bigger streght, usually, than donking into a lone opponent), and you also have the unknown quantity behind you (i.e. maybe the sb is donking with a weak T - which you're trying to get him off of - but MP2 could, and will, now and then, wake up with 44 or T9 and there goes your 90 cents).

So fold and get to the next hand, with a better hand and a better situation.
