Think I shouldn't have bet this flop

I suspected villain was bluffing or playing a draw, second pair or TPNK strongly, figuring I didn't have the ace since I didn't raise preflop. However, I couldn't call. Therefore, maybe I shouldn't have bet this flop.

I'm never a fan of completing if first in the pot.
Either raise or fold.

As played, I would've bet that flop then folded to the raise also.

This looks like a bluff re-raise to me, but it's tough. I usually don't bet from SB, because people don't believe you. A check-raise is my favourite play in this kind of position depending on the amount he bets on the flop. Usually, the check-raise works with rainbow flops with rags, as you can easily represent two pair or top pair.
