It works one direction only. And that is to upload photos and videos taken on a digital camera SD card to your iPad. Take the SD card out of the camera. Insert the SD Card reader into the Lightning Port. Open the Photo App on your iPad. Put the SD Card in the reader. Your iPad should see and give you the option to upload the photos to your iPad. If you are trying to download photos from your iPad to your SD Card Reader with an SD Card in it, it won't work that way.
