Does Rot Wolf ability continue to check after he has gone to the GY or does it only trigger if he's in play?
Example 1: I block my opponents 3/3 with my Rot Wolf. My Wolf dies and his 3/3 get 2 -1/-1 counters. Then in 2nd main he sacs the creature for some effect, will the may draw a card trigger?
Example 2: I have Rot Wolf equipped with Mortarpod. I sac my Rot Wolf to do 1 damage to my opponent's 2/2, which essentially just puts a -1/-1 counter on it. After that resolves, I Galvanic Blast the same creature, will the Rot Wolf trigger then?

Thanks in advance for the help
The ability only functions on the battlefield, so the answer is No in both of your examples since Rot Wolf is not on the battlefield at the moment the creature it dealt damage to goes to the graveyard.

What if both creatures go to the GY at the same time? i.e. Rot Wolf is blocked by a 2/2
In that case, the ability triggers. Rot Wolf's ability is a leave-the-battlefield ability, which triggers based on the game state immediately before the event that triggered it. At that moment, Rot Wolf was still on the battlefield.
