If error bars of SD are too small to plot....

What is the standard procedure to deal with this situation to show the variation in replicate results?
Are they biological or technical replicates? For technical replicates you generally combine them into one data point (average) and then show variation between biological replicates using SEM.

Biological SD too small and if I plot SEM that would be even smaller.

Well if you have tight replicates that's a good thing. Means your data is highly reproducible. You still need to plot it appropriately to show that.
