I was planning to attach a couple of wall hooks for bicycle hanging in our shed. However, I'm considering what kind of screws should be used given that the wall in question is made of OSB? It doesn't feel like regular wood screws would hold the weight of a bicycle.
 
I think it does.

Preferably a screw that is threaded all the way.

a regular 5-6mm wood screw with slightly coarser threads should work if that doesn't work you can use a 5-6mm molly plug instead

Now I'm a bit confused, unfortunately, it's not OSB on that wall but rather a plywood board... I assume that doesn't directly worsen the situation? :)

What kind of bicycle is it, really?

no
 
This question comes up now and then. OSB+plasterboard is ridiculously strong and a regular wood screw can hold over 260kg straight down. If you don't have plasterboard on the surface, it becomes slightly weaker, but you can still hang up the whole family's bikes with a single screw without any problem.

Comparison of load-bearing capacity of different panels: 12mm reinforcement board, 11mm OSB, and 12mm plywood, supporting between 124 kg and 270 kg.

2 MTBs. I guess they weigh around 14-15 kg each, so maybe I'm worrying unnecessarily.

Yes, definitely worrying for nothing :)

But you should have some sort of hook, because just a screw probably doesn't work well.
But for the hook not to become like a pendulum, two screws are needed.
But for the bikes not to swing, two hooks are probably needed, and suddenly we're up to 4 screws.

But you shouldn't just hang the bikes on a couple of screws, right?
There should be some kind of hook that you screw in, and preferably can be attached with 2 - 3 screws, or?
Maybe something like this (from JULA):

Better with a mount adapted for a bike, like this pedal mount for example.

Yes, see there, there are good things for everything! And it is mounted with three screws (y)
