The SIM card only has your phone number.
On the new phone, sign in with your Apple ID and password when prompted. Choose the "restore from backup" option and see if any backups are available.
If not, then you may have lost everything. Finish setting up the phone, let it sit plugged in to the wall for an hour or so, then see if any of your contacts have synced.

If the old phone no longer functions, and you didn't have a backup and weren't syncing the data to the cloud, it's already gone.
