Depends on the snare. Make it sound good. 
I know that isn't what you're looking for, but it really is that simple.
 You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |

Personly if you use samples i wouldn't compress at all.
If you record a drummer a possible way is to first compress with a slow attack and long release, to let the attack go through, then second add a compressor with very short attack and release to deal with the transients.
also an envelope shaper could be very nice to shape a snare......

try a synth with noise and compress the shit out of it to make your snare |

I always compress my snares . So far it sounds better to my lil experiments.Of course it depends on the settings. |

some reference settings for snare are 30-50 ms attack , 4:1 or more for ratio, release depends on how much snap you want, usually small amounts for really snappy sound like 30-50ms or around there or more for a smoother sound and threshold - make up according to the original sound, this should figure out yourself, but take care as Seamoon said that lots of samples are already compressed and really dont need any more to be squeezed
as for eq always depends on the sound and you will mostly have to remove a little from some areas than boost them , most usual is a high pass filter with a low shelving maybe for removing the "dong" sound around the 250 area cause there is the meat of the kick.
& for the reverb (in Cubase-Nuendo) youll have to make an fx channel and put the reverb there and then on the snare channel use the send effects to send the signal to the fx track with the reverb (by default the routing is at center, so the sound stays there) , with full wet settings and experiment with some plate verbs and the decay, usually no pre-delay at all, else its gonna make it "double sounding"
hope that helps, but experiment/train your ears cause sounds differ a lot between each other, should be shaped according to the hole mix image and almost never on their own
