Should airbags deploy if you hit a curb?

Generally no. The speed at which something is hit has a lot to do with it but also whether or not the object that is stuck moves at all. The curb is usually not high enough to cause the car to remain in contact with it. The car jumps the curb. The speed can be as low as 15 MPH to get an airbag to deploy if something like a sold wall is struck.

Are airbags supposed to deploy in a 1998 jxi sebring if an accident is caused from a hard rear end collision by another car?

your car could have been hit by a freight train in the rear and the airbags would not deploy unless, of course, you hit something in the front after the rear end collision had already occurred. the sensors are in the front and are designed to deploy the srs units if the occupants are in danger of going forward not backwards as the case in a rear end collision.
