     Whose talking about "an SD card"? Most newer devices can't even have   
   one. And *if* a device has one, 1) it probably is an extension of   
   Internal Storage and hard to impossible to recover when removed or 2) if   
   external storage, should not contain sensitive data.   
      
     Trust us, modern smartphones are quite safe, if properly (screen)   
   locked, including automatic lock by theft-protection.
