Woocommerce Products are wordPress posts. You can use wordpress hooks like save_post & $post_id as its argument. You are passing $sku which is wrong.

add_action( 'save_post', 'wpse_110037_new_posts' );
function wpse_110037_new_posts($post_id){
    $post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
    if($post_type == 'products') {
        add_post_meta($post_id,'key','value');
    }
}

this code just work on woocommerce product or all of wordpress posts ?! – Mosi Jun 20 '16 at 12:34
By Default it will work for all post types, but you can find post type within function and put a condition to add post meta if post type is only product. – Milap Jun 20 '16 at 12:35

Try below code. Note that in code $unique is true or false based on if meta value should be unique or not.

add_action('transition_post_status', 'product_created_function', 10, 3);
function product_created_function($newstatus, $oldstatus, $post) {
    if($oldstatus != 'publish' && $newstatus == 'publish' && !empty($post->ID) && in_array( $post->post_type, array( 'product') ) ) {
         add_post_meta( $post->ID, $key, $value,$unique );
    }    
 }

This shortcode works for post also. but for that you need to change code little bit `in_array( $post->post_type, array( 'post') )` or whatever post type is.. – vidhi Jun 20 '16 at 12:37

add_action( 'save_post', 'prowp_save_meta_boxdddd' );
function prowp_save_meta_boxdddd( $post_id ) {
    global $wpdb;
    $table_prefix = $wpdb->prefix;
    $tablename = $table_prefix.'postmeta';
    $wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare('UPDATE '.$tablename.' SET meta_value="test" WHERE post_id='.$post_id));
}
