Laying down AA on the flop
 

PokerRoom 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG calls, MP2 calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: (12 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, CO folds, Button folds, <font color="CC3333">SB caps</font>, Hero folds, UTG calls.

After the SB's check-raise and UTG's call-reraise it's pretty obvious that someone has a T and folding is a no-brainer, but what about my play earlier in the hand?

Should I have gone for a c/r on this flop?

If not, what should I have done when it comes back to me after SB check-raises? I had no read on SB as he was new to the table.

flop bet is fine. if no one has a T, your hand has tremendous equity. the check-raise from that relative position to you is all about pot building. SB likely has a T. fairly easy call for your set since you don't really expect a 3-bet. the fold is fine, you'd have to make up 10 BB's or so in 2 streets to make the call worthwhile.
