Check and see what SB does. I'd check-fold if SB calls because while you might be ahead of button's range, but when SB calls you're often drawing to a 2-outer. The JT combination on the flop is too ugly to want to continue three handed.

If SB folds, you have a more interesting decision of check-raising or check-calling depending on what you think the button is capable of doing. Either way, it's going to be dicey because you have a little less than 2 outs when you're behind and he has at least 10 outs when you're ahead.

My LAG inclination is to check-raise if SB folds (folding to a 3-bet), bet-fold the turn, then check-call the river. I don't take the check-raise-fold line too often, but this is a spot where I think it should be good.
