Hi Morrik,
The main difference is that are being done is a passive construction as in:
The things you wanted me to do are being done today (in other words someone is doing them)
Should have done is a perfect infinitive after should (ought to) as in:
He asked you to do those things and you still haven't done them. You should have done them last night
