Question I have is how active have you and the other two players been when this started. I know it is early, but activity would make a huge difference to what I would do. I'll give you the couple of scenario's I see and how I play and you can fill in more info and go from there:
1. You have been really active and the other two have not.
In this case I 4bet as my activity level has invited two players to try to stop me. The button flatting if I have been active reads like a show of strength and position and him trying to take away the pot post flop while the SB 3bet seems like he is trying to re-steal since he figures both me and the BTN are light.
2. I have not been active, BTN has not been active and SB has been active
This one becomes a little harder and I think I lean towards a fold because of the tight button. If he wasn't there I would 4bet the active SB, but the presence of a tight player who has chosen to flat the raise of another tight player creeps me out.
3. None of us have been active
I fold and am just miffed that the SB woke up with a hand.
4. All of us have been really active
I 4bet this one as my holding is well ahead of loose players ranges and hope someone spaz's and we get it in.
— Hope this helps a little
