The only SDS wood bits I can find are a few no-name cheap bits. Are there any good quality SDS bits for wood? Or will I have to buy a drill bit chuck adapter so I can use regular bits in my SDS drill?
The two common sizes of SDS tools / bits are SDS Plus and SDS Max.
Which size is being sought for wood bits?

3/8″, 1/2″, & 3/4″, SDS Plus.
Not being able to find anything other than a couple cheap no-name bits, it looks like I’ll just have to get the adapter which can be found for $15.
Nothing that large in diameter for wood in a name brand.
Here is a Makita set that goes up to ¼” diameter.
Makita and Bosch both have drill bits. You can check them out.
Yes, both of those are good bits. I had a cheap bit a while back and it wasn’t worth it but maybe I just got a bad bit.

3/8″, 1/2″, & 3/4″ sizes? That would be great! Can you provide a link?

Hello, you can get the set for whatever you need it for. My friends told me the Dewalt Drill bit set is ok.
There are some SDS+ Auger wood drill bits from a German brand called CK in 6 Metric sizes only as much as I remember. 12mm, 16mm… SDS+ shank brad point?! First time here I found out about Makita ones, I would not use SDS+ brad point drill bits in these small sizes, they might break easily. I should also say CK is a German brand but their Auger bits seems to be made in Far East (China/Taiwan most probably) Currently none of the well known brands do make their Auger drill bits in Western World, Only quality but expensive Auger drill bits are made by Star-M (Known as WoodOwl in USA and kwb in Europe) made in Japan. Also Fisch makes some in Austria. What I said here is about 1/4″ E6.3 hex shank Auger drill bits, if you go for round shank auger drill bits you can find German made FAMAG Auger drill bits but very expensive.
These Makita SDS+ brad point drill bits are not made of one piece of metal, they are plugged.

This is on the official site. It has 3/8″ and 1/2″, you can look if they have 3/4″ too.. I think they would be included aswell.
I think for Bosch you may have to buy different sets for different sizes. But you may be able to find more information on this on their website.I may be wrong.
Also, Altan may be right in saying that they may break. But these are the ones that I have used quiet sometimes(the Makita ones) and have worked well for me.
@Mathew123,
The link provided has straight shank and Pozidriv bits.
The OP is looking for name brand SDS Plus shank wood bits.
Was a different link intended for SDS Plus bits?
Armeg is a British brand making some SDS+ Auger drill bits, they are good with SDS+ products, Specially some TCT SDS+ chisels (British / Italian made)
Also you do not need to buy any drill bit with SDS+ shank, You can buy any type of drill bit with 1/4″ hex shank to use with impact drivers and buy this adapter for SDS+ from Snappy
A brand called Diager makes SDS+ Auger drill bits made in France.
Another brand called “Blue Master” has a good range of SDS+ auger drill bits.
