Many. For example, in one episode a character literally "beats a dead horse".

Yes, in a few episodes a dog is killed. For example, there are a few dogs that kill themselves because they are owned by Paris Hilton (Stupid Spoiled Wh*** Video Playset). I also believe a dog is hit by a car in Ike's Wee Wee.

The action is not shown on-screen, but the aftermath is-- in Paris Hilton's scrapbook, multiple pets are shown to have committed various acts of suicide. There is at least one cat among them. (also in a more realistic art style than usual.)

Yes, in "Hummels & Heroin" many people are shown to overdose. In "Quest for Ratings" the boys drink a bunch of cough syrup. In Season 22 Randy opens a weed farm. In "Towelie," "A Million Little Fibers," and "Crippled Summer" the character Towelie is shown to abuse marijuana and drugs. In "The Poor Kid" and "Lil' Crime Stoppers" meth labs are shown. In "Ike's Wee Wee" the counselor uses marijuana and possibly other drugs. In "Timmy 2000" drugs are also abused. In "My Future Self n' Me" drugs are mentioned. In "Medicinal Friend Chicken" marijuana is used. I may have missed a few episodes.

In "Scott Tenorman Must Die", Cartman gives Tenorman chili that is made up of the ground-up bodies of his parents. Tenorman doesn't find out what the chili is actually made up of until later, and is horrified when he learns the truth.

Cartman eats Kenny's ashes by accident and gets possessed in "A Ladder to Heaven" which kicks off a mild subplot in the latter half of Season 6. The Devil possesses Stan near the end of "Freemium Isn't Free."

Not a regular thing in the show itself but the "Pandemic" episodes have lots of very shaky cam scenes, so if it's something that makes you uncomfortable I'd recommand not watching them

Sex jokes are frequent, along with nudity (especially bare bottoms). There are also some onscreen sexual acts. It should be noted that it's generally animated in a very limited/cartoonish art style, though.

"Mr. Garrison's Fancy New V****a" portrays transitioning as an impulse or a trend. The character does realize they weren't actually a trans woman several seasons later, but is misgendered in several episodes while they are presenting as a woman. A similar situation happens in "The Cissy" where Cartman pretend to be a trans girl to use the bathroom, but again it's hard to say because Cartman isn't actually trans, but the language used to discredit him might still upset some people.
"Board Girls" has a trans woman character (or a man pretending to be a trans woman, it's never made quite clear) who is very masculine and many characters refer to her as "him" but quickly correct themselves. However, she is still essentially a caricature used to poke fun at the issue of trans women in sports.
Other episodes misgender characters who aren't trans, such as Cartman calling Kyle a girl in "Super Hard PC-ness."

Cartman is a neo-nazi, despite only being 10 or 11.
All major religeons are made fun of in some way, although it's rather equal-opportunity about it.

Due to the many, many people who pass in South Park and the poor representation within the series, no, the black guy doesn't go first. But several black characters are killed at certain points in the series, most notably Chef.

R****d and its variants get thrown around a lot and one episode has a disabled character defend his right to say it. Same with "cr*ppled." Though there are disabled characters who exist outside of being jokes like Jimmy and Nathan, a lot of jokes are made at their expense. Generally a lot of casual ableism that's to be expected if you know how South Park operates.

It's complicated. Most episodes depict Santa as existing in the real world and people interact with him, but "Imaginationland" portrays him as a figure of imagination. "Crack Baby Athletic Association" has a subplot that follows the typical story of someone learning Santa isn't real, except instead of Santa it's the musician Slash.

Butters' parents. It's very stereotyped and is mostly shown as some kind of running gag but can still be very upsetting (he gets beaten in one episode, tho it's not shown, but you can hear it).
Same goes for Tweek's parents, it isn't shown as much as Butters but still can be seen as abuse. (a few examples : not taking their son' anxiety seriously, making him work, giving him coffee with meth, pointing a gun at him to "teach a lesson")

Yes, this is basically the theme of the episode "Grey Dawn," mocking how old people are terrible drivers. An ongoing gag in the later seasons shows Caitlyn Jenner hitting pedestrians. A few episodes where this happens are "Where My Country Gone?" and "Sponsored Content." In "Put It Down" many people run over children with their cars, if this counts as a car crash.
