High hand jackpot has $385 in it, currently at AAAAK with about 8 minutes left.

25c/50c nolimit game. I call on button with 7d5d.

Flop is 8d6d2d. I have a made flush, but also have 2 cards that give me the jackpot. There is only $2.40 in the pot and it is checked to me. Should i bet? Or should i check and not risk pushing anyone out when i have about an 8% chance of hitting the jackpot?

Check the flop and turn. Your Expected Value is .08 * 385 = $30.80. Also, if your straight flush draw hits or not, you can still bet the river for some extra cash.
