iPhone do not store data on SIM.

You can take SIM out of old iPhone and activate new iPhone with the SIM then follow

instructions here => Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch – Apple Support

Note: Ask your carrier if they support 5G and if you need a new SIM for that.

You can change the SIM later if your carrier says you need a new SIM.
