A steel sheet and a member excellent in cold workability, hardenability, and post-quenching surface layer hardness, and methods for manufacturing the steel sheet and the member. The steel sheet has a specified chemical composition and a microstructure containing ferrite and carbides, a ratio of the volume of ferrite and carbides to the volume of the entire microstructure is 90% or more, a ratio of the volume of proeutectoid ferrite to the volume of the entire microstructure is 20% or more and 80% or less, a Mn concentration in the carbides is 0.10 mass % or more and 0.50 mass % or less, and a ratio of the number of carbides with particle diameters of 1 μm or more to the total number of carbides is 30% or more and 60% or less.
A steel sheet having a chemical composition comprising, by mass %:
