How do I report on SchD?

No, a 1099-B from a brokerage firm should include all of your trading activity for 2022 which includes any and all option trades whether they resulted in gains or losses. You might consider confirming with TD Ameritrade whether a supplemental 1099-B will be issued. As well as asking them why your 1099-B is incomplete.
Your option losses need to be reported on your return. Those losses will offset your gains. Assuming the cost basis for each option trade was reported to the IRS, you can enter your loss information in summary fashion on Schedule D rather than listing each transaction on Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets. Cost basis for most options is reported to the IRS.
Because your option losses are not listed on your 1099-B, you will likely need to work from your monthly account statements and trade confirmations. Your trade confirmations may indicate whether cost basis has been reported to the IRS; however, you might also consider confirming cost basis reporting with your broker.
In TurboTax online, you report your losses as follows:
