I'll keep it brief.
In "His Last vow", Mary shoots Sherlock and before he hit the ground or even registered the pain, he was able to come up with countermeasures all in head to keep himself alive.
As far is peak humans go, this is an impressive feat, backed up by other instances throughout the show when Sherlock is put under stressful situations.
As such, Sherlock's reaction speed should be far higher than the average person. I don't have an exact value, but it should be slower than the time needed to react to a bullet and faster than the time required to register pain. I propose Athletic Human movement speed, higher reaction speeds.
This should scale to those of similar or higher intelligence as compared to Sherlock, including Moriaty, Eurus, Mycroft, Irene, Magnussen, etc.
