Just look at the reason you drop a beanbag. Generally, under NFHS rules, a beanbag is dropped to mark the spot where player possession is lost.

That would include the QB losing control on a handoff, a runner fumbling, a receiver fumbling the ball in the run after the catch.

You do not need to drop a beanbag for any loose ball play where possession changes, interception, reception of a scrimmage kick. Exception would be first touching by K of a scrimmage kick. R will have the opportunity to choose the spot of first touching.

Wingmen might want to drop the beanbag when contacted by K in an onside kick within or near the neutral zone to mark the spot of first touching.
