How do I react to donk lead?

Blinds: t15/t30 (7 Players) MP: 2,998
CO: 140
BN: 1,516 (Hero)
SB: 1,315
BB: 2,177
UTG: 1,561
UTG+1: 1,956
No significant reads
Preflop (45) Hero is BN with J A
3 folds, CO raises to 136 and is all in, Hero raises to 288, SB calls 273, BB folds
I raise to isolate. Get called by SB.
Flop (770) J 4 8
SB bets 270

How should I react here to someone I have no info on. Should I call, to avoid sets and slow played over pairs, or should I shove and protect against draws (and gain value from dominated Jacks which they're trying to protect from my drawing range)?

I'd be more inclined to raise this lead on a such wet board. About trips. if he keep barreling would you fold top pair? probably no, right? so I think we better raise for protection here.

Other thing is that people use to bluff less when there's side pot, so if it was a dryer board, or if you had a flush blocker check is a nice option, in my opinion.

See you
