Re: bad fold?

No, he more than likely had you. He check-raised the pot (7+7+7),

this is mostly semantic, but that's not actually check-raising the pot. to check-raise the pot would be to make a raise of 7 (the bet to you) plus $28 (the pot after the 7 is matched) for a total of 35.
i think folding here is the right play. the SB is check-raising not just you, but also the CO who is nearly all-in. unless the SB is a bad player, this should be a pretty indication that the SB doesn't mind getting called.
you can't really call though, because pretty much any card that comes is a scare card. and even if you have the best hand now, the all-in CO could easily draw out on you. and you can't really raise because the SB will only call you with a good made hand, meaning one that's probably better than yours. in the best case, if you raise you'll collect an $11 side pot and then have the privelege of hoping that your hand holds up against 5 or 9 outs twice. and that's the best case.
i'd fold. if your stack were significantly smaller, or if the SB were a true maniac, i'd raise.
