You appear to have a third-party Adapter - the performance of which cannot be guaranteed.
Assuming that you are using an SD Card, consider using an Apple USB-C to SD Card Reader:

Alternatively, as a more flexible option, you might use a USB-C hub that incorporates both a USB-C pass-through power connection (to which you connect your USB-C Power Adapter used to charge your iPad) and a card reader. By example:

I have same issue new my iPad Pro updated to 18.1.1 IOS and now I can’t download any photos from card reader yet my iPad Pro on 17.1.1 recognises the sd card reader. Apple you need to fix this as we can’t use our devices for the purpose we bought them for. None of the work arounds in this thread work ????
