my usb port is not recognizing my SD card reader

I have shut down my mac, restarted it, and my SD card reader is not being recognized in my usb port. However, my lighting cable works just fine. I have tried to different SD card readers, but neither of them work. I believe I have also successfully reset my usb ports.

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11
