I tried the following approach to get this finally working on an old MacBook Pro:

Locate the SD-card with

Code:
df -h
Your SD-card will show up something like

Code:
/dev/disk3 ...
Unmount the SD-card with

Code:
sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk3
If disk3 has a partitioning scheme use

Code:
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3
instead.

In the terminal type

Code:
sudo dd bs=1m if=/Path/To/Image/NameOfYourImage.img of=/dev/rdisk3
where the "r" in rdisk is intended! Of course you have to use the correct name. Don't use disk3, if this is not your SD-card. Otherwise dataloss might be the consequence!

Wait (!) until the Image has been written.

Eject the SD-card with

Code:
diskutil eject /dev/disk3
This finally worked for me, maybe this will work for others too.
