you mention isn't specifically about SEM/SD.
More generally, when showing errobars either SEM or SD are valid depending
on what you want to show. I like SD because it doesn't scale with N, it's
constant irrespective of N whereas SEM scales down with sqrt(N), so you can
make it arbitrarily small by increasing N. Nothing wrong with computing SEM
though and showing that.
