I would have thought you'd have noticed if the handbrake shoes & backplates were ok when you changed the rear discs.
Or did you change these a while ago ?
It's worth supporting the rear end off the ground first & checking for freeplay (with the wheels on).
Give them a spin aswell & listen for any abnormal noises (with the exception of the normal scuffing from the pads etc).
As myrover2013 has said, you could possibly have a wheel bearing gone.
