Yes, it's hard for villain to get value here. 
When you say 'optimal' it depends if you mean GTO or the optimal exploitative play.

Betting small with top set here (sometimes) is GTO - to protect his small cbetting range.
Exploitative will depend on how you and sb are perceived. 
If you and sb are known to over-call and never check raise, maybe BU should only be betting large here. As you say, to give draws bad odds.
Thing is, draws have really bad equity either way in this spot.

But even BU checking flop is fine imo.

If I understanding your thinking correctly. I believe you are looking at BU thinking he should bet big because his hand is so strong. But BU should actually be looking to keep you and the SB in the pot, rather than pricing you out.

If you really want to dive deep, you will have to run this hand into a GTO solver.
I would highly doubt it would say to bet large here, because almost no hands will realistically call a large cbet on this board. But a lot of hands would call/check-raise a small cbet here.

Hope that helps :)
