I'd raise much more here. Somewhere someone wrote that a raise of 3x the
previous bet is good, and for some reason everyone takes that as gospel.
Make it something ridiculous like 400 here and call a push. The shit
people will get in with here is ridiculous.
Once you saw the K high flop and got min raised you either need to push or
fold. I'd just fold there playing it the way you did.

I agree. With a minraise and a call, you want to raise by at least the
amount of the pot. You want to keep everyone else out and either get
heads-up or take the pot without a flop. You don't know anything about
the other players yet and the only hands you have to fear getting all-in
against is AA or KK, both of which are unlikely.
Also, with a bigger raise, in a one-dollar SNG you are likely to get a
push from all kinds of hands, which you will happily call.

Your flop bet was too small. Regardless, the same player minraised that
minraised and then called before the flop. If he's drawing to a
straight or flush you want to get him out now. If you push, he risks
elimination on the first hand to call you. So push. It's a one-dollar
SNG, if he calls you'll either double up and be in great position or go
on to the next one.
