Completing is better than raising pre. There'll be so many boards with at least two overs, that it will make your hand too awkward to profitably play in a bloated pot out of position. Calling and seeing a cheap flop multi-way is best with these deeper stacks.

Post flop is reasonable. UTG could be betting with a non-Ace hand that you're ahead of, so calling and folding to further action is acceptable.

But there's nothing wrong with folding to the flop bet, since they bet into 3 people and have plenty of Ax in their limping range. Plus the turn will be bring about overcards more often than unders/a set, so just folding the flop and saving some chips is a fine way to play it as well.

Limping along is better in the SB than raising IMO because you'll have very little fold equity unless you put in a massive raise and you don't want to be OOP in a huge pot with 77.

Just fold the flop, there's only two good turns in the deck and you're OOP.
