Does anyone know if any 747sp's are still flying commercially for passengers?
If so, what airlines?.

I know that a Saudi Arabian 747SP flew in and out of Innsbruck, whether they still do I'm not sure...

according to wikipedia, 14 are still flying as of August, 2006. looks like VIP operators are the main operators. there are a couple of recent photos on airliners.net:

http://www1.airliners.net/open.file/1142594/L/ (United Arab Emirates (Dubai Air Wing))

Conflicting reports on when Qantas gave up their 2 SPs- sometime between in 1993 and 2004.

I think Kinshasa Airways still have one flying passenger services in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There's also a VIP one owned by some religious figure in the USA, I think the company is registered as "Star Triple Seven".

Edit - Here they are:
