The answer to your question depends on context.

If you are writing a sentence in which you mention a bachelor's degree or a master's degree or even a doctor's degree, do not capitalize------but always remember to use the apostrophe!

If you are writing a person's name and including degree(s) earned, capitalize the abbreviations as you've always seen them: Lynne Hancock, L.P.N., R.N., B.S.N., M.S.N or Lynda Eggleston, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. (Ordinarily it is not necessary to list all earned if they were successive. In other words anyone holding a Ph.D. would hold a bachelor's and a master's, so Ph.D. is sufficient. If however you have someone with several fields of study, you'd want to indicate highest degree earned within each field.)

If you are writing your own resume, use capitalized abbreviations: EDUCATION M.S. zoology, 2006.

Only capitalize master's degree when you're referring to a specific degree.

Example:
Brian just finished his Master's of Science in Biology.
He earned his master's degree.
Yes. It should be Masters degrees.

that's just a noun, so no. however, if you refer to a particular degree, then you should.

ex. I received a master's degree when I was younger.

ex. I received a Master's of Science in Chemistry.

Yes, "Master's degree" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun referring to a specific academic achievement.
