Yuck on the flop raise. First question you have to ask yourself is this: what do you think SB is betting? I would say the great majority of the time he's betting top pair or better, meaning that you are drawing. If you had a read on SB that he was very LAGish, and therefore may NOT be betting at least top pair, then a raise would be acceptable. But since you have no such read, I would have to assume he's got a pair of queens or better. A raise will usually knock out all the people you want to stay in so that they pad the pot while you continue to draw.

All that being said, you hit the flop fairly well and I would just call. The turn improves you to an OESD, giving you 10 outs, so that's another call. River is self-evident.

EDIT: Didn't even see the PF raise from SB. Calling preflop is fine with so many (likely) in the pot.
