Blinds are 25/50 nearing the middle stage of this 9man SnG and it folds around to me in the HJ and I open pretty standard with QJo. BB defends. Flop is a total whiff and he donks for 5x. I fold since I have absolutely nothing here but is that the way to play this? Villain has not got out of line too much but it's a pretty small sample. Do I call off with overcards here? He has a lot more 3s (K3s, A3s) than me here and maybe he has a small pocket pair that needs protection from overcards (55,66,77)

Yes its a standard fold. You can float him with A high, because then you beat most of his bluffs, and you also have a backdoor draw to a wheel for a little extra something. But QJ is just to bad, and if someone does a lot of donk betting, you just need to accept, that they will win most of the small pots. But in return you will win most of the big ones, when they donk into the top of your range. As for the range, you put him on, I completely agree. I dont think, he has 2X very often, but he has a lot of 3X and small overpairs, where we want to deny equity to hands just like the one, you had. And he could have draws like 54, A4 or A5.

QJ não é uma boa mão em um flop como esse, além do que já foi dito acima o range do BB representa mais o board.
