Yes, HU short stacks are almost always horrible. But still, I'd just avoid people sitting really short especially if you're playing 50NL. The rake is too ridiculous there to mess around with them too much, you'll end up wasting like $15 in rake to win $20 from a shorty if you don't stack them right away. Also, whether they know it or not, most short stacks will play closer to optimal than most guys playing 100bb deep. Like switch said, if someone starts getting short, just sit out and kindly ask them to top up, most people will if you ask.

However, if you are just getting started in HU, I'd actually recommend sitting with the short stacks, just for the experience. Playing shorter, like 30-60BB is much easier and simplifies a lot of your decisions. If making money right away isnt your biggest concern, sitting against short stacks is a good way to ease in to the HU world. The decisions are all easier and it can help keep the huge swings at bay a little.
