Its slightly weird because due to the ICM pressure this is a spot where SB should not have limps. But if he does and you dont have some sort of additional info, you should play a range pretty similar to chip EV or slight ICM spot. Where the main hands we want to jam are smallest pairs, most of offsuit aces and K2o K3o K4o Q2o Q3o... types of hands.
This is 50 % field left ICM range (gotta use something with lower ICM pressure, otherwise SB has like 0,3 % limps)

Quite the opposite. Usually you want to lowest kicker, the deuce. You are not jamming for value, this is a jam with the purpose to force better kings to fold. Kicker won't be much relevant, but with a deuce we are not blocking his folds or missing the chance to dominate some weaker hands postflop. With some better kickers like K6 K7 its often better to check back because you dominate lot of worse sevens. With K2o you dominate almost nothing, so its great jam candidate.
Also small suited kings are usually a little bit too strong to jam here, just not neccessary. Although it is close and in some spots we can go for it. Typically K2s/K3s are great candidates for a 3b jam when SB openraises.
