The easiest way would be to open contacts in iCloud in a web browser. Select the ones you want to download and then hit the share button and save them. They'll be saved in .vcf format which can be used by most contacts and address apps.

This is Apple's official word on the subject.
Connect external storage devices to iPhone - Apple Support
Note the dirve formatting requirements
A quick web search found info stating the SE 1st requires an MFi-certified Lightning flash drive. No mention of adapters that can be used with the SE 2nd and an thumb drive.

Hi there,
Amazon sells flash drives such as this:

Additionally, you can just back your contacts up to iCloud to transfer them or plug your phone into a computer with a Lightning cable.
