Is this an attach on the phone itself via the sdcard? or an attack on the computer? For an attack on the computer to occur the software often needs to be run, which from the sdcard shouldn't happen. As for attacking the phone I'll leave that up to the experts but I suspect that the phone won't just run stuff. If its a vulnerable document of some sort like say a PDF then it comes down to the user and knowing not to open things he shouldn't.
