For a lot of folks-especially younger ones-their phone IS their digital camera.
I would say that techno-sohispicates and serious photographers know SD cards and understand that they come in different flavors, etc. But that's not the average phone user.

We obviously live in different worlds. I walk down the high street and in the shops there, or those in airport and railway outlets, or in malls and consumer superstores I see rack after rack of SD cards for sale. And not just in electronics or camera stores. You can buy them in newsagents, stationers, pharmacies and department stores.
My impression is that most people understand that you stick them in the device and save stuff to them.
Sometimes it's a bit more complicated - I agree with the comments on the the way older versions of Android prevented installing apps, rather than data, to cards - but nothing that the average person can't figure out. And
mostly it's not more complicated.
You stick the card in the device and save stuff on it. If you stick it in a computer a folder pops up showing you your stuff, just like the other folders.
Dropbox is wonderful, I use it all the time, but I'd happily take the bet that more of my friends and family know how to use an SD card than Dropbox.
