I recently updated to IOS 14.1, and I have previously been importing photos and videos to my IPad using an Apple SD card reader... As of my update yesterday, my iPad no longer is allowing me to import anything from my SD card even when using an Apple licensed SD card reader.
Hello TNFishingFanatic,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
We understand from your post that after updating your iPad software you are no longer able to import your photos from an Apple SD card reader. This article has steps under the heading, "If you don’t see the import option", which may help:

Best Regards.

This is out of date, you need to click on devices to get to IMPORT since the November update.
Please update your instructions accordingly.
I have the same problem after updating to IOS 14.2 on both my Ipad pro and Iphone 7. The answer you gave doesn’t help at all. I have done all those steps to no avail. The new photos on my SD card don’t even show up on my ipad/iphone as where before they did. I have done nothing different from what I always have done when importing photos using the Apple SD adapted to import photos. The format on my photos on the SD card is exactly the same as all the ones I had imported before these last IOS updates. The only thing that has changed is your update. Please provide a solution to this thank you.
I've got this same problem after up grading to 14.2. I can't import images off my memory chips. The import tab in Photo isn't even there anymore. This happened on all 3 of my iPads. One is a iPad Air, iPad Pro andmy new iPad Pro.
I've posted a solution.
IpadIOS 14.2 looks like it's introduced a problem for SD card readers. I have this problem on an IPAD 2017 running 14.2 using an Apple SD card reader. it still works fine on my Ipad 4. This must be a software issue and needs to be recognised by Apple. I plan to get hold of my daughters SC card reader on Monday to prove the point.
Solution. Open photos , open the side panel using the icon top left of the screen. Plug in SD card reader after a second or two Devices will appear, under it is the name of you SD card. Touch on the icon that appeared and a new panel appears on the right headed Import and displaying all the photos on the SD card. All credit to my daughter for solving this.
Photo import not working..
