SD cards are not like magnetic stripes on the back of credit cards and so forth. They're a version of electronic memory that holds its state when power is off, so a magnet affects it no more than it would affect a transistor radio. However, SD cards and other memory cards that use Flash memory ARE potentially affected by large bursts of electromagnetic interference-like a nearby lightning strike, or a static electricity discharge.
