PL25, blind steal with aces, getting trouble on flop

Stack sizes:
Hero: $25.07
SB: $38.80
Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is CO with 5
6 
A A 
5 folds, Hero raises to $0.85, Button folds, SB raises to $2.8, BB folds, Hero raises to $8.65, SB calls.
I think I wouldn't raise that if there were some limpers in front of me. But first in from the CO it's a must raise for me. Now SB seems to have a hand too or thinks that I just want to steal, so I repot trying to take the pot right now or getting everything in preflop. As SB just calls he doesn't seem to have the other aces.
Flop: 5
K 4 ($17.55, 2 players)
SB bets $16.68, Hero calls $16.42 and is all-in .
Really ugly flop. My emergency A5 low draw gets counterfeited, but that's not the worst since A5 or A6 both aren't that great. The question is, can he have flopped the flush or is he just cbetting his A2whatever trying to push me out.
During that hand I didn't really think about which better hands he could have flopped (except a flush), maybe kings up with low draw, low draw plus straight draw/wrap, and as the pot already was too big imo I made a rather crying call.
Is there any other option? Could you have folded there after investing 1/3 of your stack? Should I not have 4bet preflop as this is just shouting out loudly that I have aces?
SB's stats were 70% vpip and 7% pfr for that session btw.
Btw - hey, I am centurion.
