Yes. For example, if someone offered to help you with something, you could say “You’d do that for me?”.

@munglint Yes! It is “You would do that for me?”. You can say both “You’d do that for me?” or “You would do that for me?” because they are the same sentence, but the 1st is more casual.

@munglint Oh! I’m sorry I misread your first question. There are no contractions for should with ‘d. There are only contractions like “shouldn’t” (should not) and “should’ve” (should have). I apologize for the misunderstanding!
