Default little pair HU, lousy board

Common situation against laggish player and I often just wing it. Is there a more or less standard strategy for a situation like this (besides asking for my pfr back)? This guy will semi-bluff but I don't have much other info.

What I'd like to know is how to handle flop lead - raise/fold 3-bet? Raise/c-c down if board doesn't get worse? Call/fold turn to another non-flush/str overcard? Are lags usually betting draws into pfrs and c-r good hands? Pot too small and board too poor to begin with? I'd fold this in another situation but against this guy I might be good here but I'm pretty sure I won't get any free looks.

Fold flop when he bets out at you after you raised preflop. The board can't really get any better for you.

I might be wrong but I kick this in for 1 small bet on the flop. It encourages SB to donk frequently. Also, the probability that you are good on flop and will still be good at the river is small. Can't win em all.
