What pocket pairs should I call/raise with from the SB when there is a raise and two callers in front of me?

Reraise with AA-JJ, call with TT-22.

I think I fold 22 - 44 to a raise when I'm in the SB far too often without pausing to think about how many people called the raise cold. If there are 2 cold callers, you can call with TT-22 like Gravy said.

I agree with you about calling but on a raised pot I normally just call the raise with JJ as well

You really need to 3-bet with JJ, even from the SB. I can maybe understand arguing that you should just call with TT because you'll be out of position for the rest of the hand, but JJ is too powerful not to be 3-betting it preflop regardless of position.
