Dear Justin,
For sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate(C_ 12 H_25 C_6 H_4 SO_3 Na), the charges of S and O in S0_3^- ^ , I cannot find the suitable charge. Forthermore, the carbon in benzene connecting the SO_3^- is setted to be zero, I think that there may be questionable. The polarization of SO_3 ^_ - is very large. what do you think so? Thanks again!

Well, like I said before, QM charges may be a reasonable starting point, but you will undoubtedly have to do some empirical fitting; that's how Gromos96 parameters are derived. A paper that may interest you regarding SDS parameters in simulations:

Schweighofer, K.J., Essmann, U., and Berkowitz, M. (1997) J. Phys. Chem. B. 101: 3793-3799.

That work may provide you with some clues as to a starting point.
