If a formatted SD card is not showing up as a volume on the Desktop or in Finder window sidebars, check to see if Finder > {Preferences/Settings} is set up to show such volumes there.
If the SD card reader itself has gone bad, you could work around that by buying an external USB card reader.

1) Make sure that the SD cards a full inserted in the slot.
2) Get and use a USB external SD card reader from Walmart, BestBuy, Target or Amazon.
