You can determine overflow for addition and subtraction of two signed bytes A and B as follows. First flip bit 7 of both A and B. This will not affect the result of (8 bit) addition or subtraction, nor of the sign flag, but it will affect the carry.
Then for addition compute A+B. The overflow flag will be (carry == sign). For subtraction compute A-B. The ...

Overflow occurs on addition when two numbers with the same sign add up to a number with a different sign.
It occurs on subtraction when two numbers with different signs produce a result with the same sign as the second number.
So for addition of b and c, I guess something like:
; Compute result, store in h.
ld a, b
add c
ld h, a
; Test for the same sign in ...
