A question about smaller pairs

It seems like when I do this the villain calls a lot, and then I'm usually putting out a large continuation bet into a scary board/overcards with my small pair just praying not to get called. Didn't like it too much.

dont do it unless villain is stealing often, in which case you should be getting called on the flop significantly less than 1/3 of the time unless villain is calling with any pair any draw.
