I think this hand is pretty standard. SB might have better trips than you, and you should call down if he caps. The 3-bet is definitely in order though - the second king makes other players consider it less likely you have one now and they want to raise you out. Most of the time this scenario comes up it's a semi-bluff or perhaps a worse king.

I'm putting SB now thinking his Queens or Aces are good, and you outkicking UTG+1. I see this play frequently where you have, say KJ and a run of the mill fish or donk checkraises you when the K pairs the board. A good majority of the time they'll play that aggressively because they don't expect the fourth K to be in your hand and you were betting an overpair or mid pair they were beating. Easy 3-bet. check/call the river if capped.
