Will something on my iphone be lost or need to be reset if I replace my original SIM card with a new one? If that is the case, what can I do?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

iPhones don't store your user data on a SIM card, the card is used to provide carrier service. If you change the SIM card you should only really notice a change in the carrier used to provide your phone service (that's how it has worked for us).
