I look at it this way; if I 3-bet and I'm behind, I lose 2 extra big bets. If I 3-bet and I'm ahead, I gain one big bet if the SB has a decent enough hand to call me down with. So on the surface, you need to be 66% sure that you're good, which I wouldn't be. But furthermore, say the SB is trying to bluff you off...not too likely, but he might've put you an AQ after your flop raise, and is trying to scare you off with the king. If this is the case, he folds to your 3-bet, whereas you calling down might gain an extra bet if he takes one more stab at the river.
There's definitely some opponents against whom a 3-bet is in order here, but without any more info, I think calling down is the general move.
