Hi All,
What is a good scrim material or similar to use for lasers for graphics and still let the laser shine through, and where to find it?

Most will tell you Skeeta in Florida. They will custom sew whatever size you need. I've bought several scrims from them and they work great.

+1 for Skeeta Scrim!
Get their "no-see-um" netting in the SLATE color. It will all but disappear in a dark room. (Note: Black is too dark and will actually stand out a bit.)
They will custom-sew any size scrim you want, and even sew pockets in the top and bottom for cables or support poles. But they use an industrial surger sewing machine that leaves a fat seam which is quite visible when displaying graphics.
Instead, I suggest you buy long lengths of the standard 54 inch wide screen material and then cut and sew it together yourself using a standard stitch on an ordinary household sewing machine. (just overlap the two pieces about 3/4 of an inch and run a straight stitch down the middle between the two overlapping pieces) This will give you a seam that is much less visible.

I have used mosquito nests myself and they work great. Holes are big enough to create a transparent effect but small enough so not too much of the beam will pass through it.
I've also had good results with PE/PP transparent plastic films sold by the meter but these were inhouse tests, I can't tell how safe they are in terms of flammability and reflectivity.
For reinforcing the corners of the screen instead of sewing I cut and fold an ordinary white PVC banner sheet, put the skrim between them and weld the PVC sheets with a silicone roller and hot air gun. Maybe not the best option but works for me.
