Depends. What types of hands has he shown down with? If you had a better spot to 4bet that would be more useful because if you had say KK and 4bet him with confidence and he folded then you know how he responds to 4bets. Against 13% you are more than likely ahead but against 22 you're behind. It's a tough spot and I know you want to call or 4bet to shut this guy down but I think it could be a fold or it could be a call or it could be a 4bet. It depends on how much info you have.
A 3x+1bb 3bet could mean one thing and a 3x 3bet could mean another. If you have a reason to think you are in a coin flip it may be better to come over top just to avoid the tricky post flop spots. This is a cash game not a tourney so your results and actions shouldn't be motivated by thinking how to outplay an opponent because your tourney life depends on it. You need to be thinking in terms of + and - EV.
A good player can fire in like that from the SB as an Iso with a wide range. If he is doing this alot from the SB then coming over top is the right move. If he isn't doing this a lot from the SB or he did it another time and it went to showdown, the results of that hand would be full of vital info.
Best advice is changing seats if possible or moving to another table. That's the last kind of player you want acting after you. That would make me crazy. Out of frustration I would end up making a bad play, or a bad play that turned out to be the right play. It is just too much work honestly. Definitely change seats or tables.
