Hi Scott,
There is a table on page 689 of "Antibodies: a laboratory manual" which
has properties of many commonly used detergents including SDS. The CMC
that is listed for SDS is 0.24 grams/100ml and the micelle molecular
weight is 18,000. Hope this gives you a starting point for your quest.
Cheers
