I looked into the book "Die deutsche Abwurfmunition bis 1945".

It states that the SD-2 was first used in the operation "Opernball" at the 29. october 1940.
A Rotte Dornier Do 17 of the 8./KG 76 attacked the 17 parked Bristol Blenheim at the airfield Wattisham.

Other small bombs which has been used from the start of the war 1939 were the B-1 E, B-1,3 E, SC-10/SD-10, SC-50 and SD-50.

It is also interesting to read that the production of bombs were behind the use.
At the end of the poland campaign were mostly all 20.000 bombs of the 50kg and 250kg weight used up.
