Q:
Qual é a diferença entre sbd should have p.p (ex. I should have done it) e I wish sbd had p.p (ex. I wish I had done it) ?
A:
Depending on context, they are both ways of expressing regret, but 'should have' is stronger than 'wish (I) had'.
'Should' also carries the implication that in failing to do the thing that 'should have happened', you did something wrong/fell short. 'Wish' emphasises personal regret more.
E.g- I should have done my homework- I had homework to do, but failed to do so, carries the implication of consequences.
I wish I'd done my homework- similar meaning as the above, but with a more emphatic sense of regret.
Sometimes they can basically mean the same thing, but there is a subtle difference.
