The pre-flop aggressor was on your left and is a TAG and did any ISO-raise that pretty much worked. This is a PERFECT time for a check-raise. Why are we trying to force out the SB?

Hero Checks, MP2 bets, SB calls, Hero RAISES, MP2 Calls, SB calls.

Then the worst card in the world falls and it's time to bet/call, check/call. Most likely though, I'd have him on an ace, so I'd check/call, check/call and see if I can show down a winner or not.

With your straight bet-out into the preflop raiser, you give him too much incentive to get away from his hand because the pot is still small. Like it was said before, if he ISO-raised with KK, QQ, or JJ, your donkbet is telling him either, I limped an ace, or I'm repping the Ten and not afraid of your ace. KK, QQ, and JJ (Or any other pair for that matter) don't even have close to the odds to call your donkbet.

Sure you slow down AK, AQ and AJ with your check-raise, but hopefully you get SB to put in 2 bets that way. If he even puts in one, it's fine.
