data is not stored on the sim card

it's only purpose is to provide the number / trie the subscription you have with your carrier with the phones IMEI


you get your data by restoring your backup of the old phone on the new one

and or by using the same appleID if you had the old to sync data to icloud


you can also read Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
