I have a 24" Desktop iMac (2023 Apple M3) and am looking to find a "SD card to lightning port adapter" that matches. The one Apple is selling is for the iMac (2024 Apple M4) @ $39, but I'm not sure it would be compatible with my iMac? Any help with this would be most appreciated.

Your Mac does not have Lightning ports.
iMac (24-inch, 2023, Two ports) - Tech Specs - Apple Support
iMac (24-inch, 2023, Four ports) - Tech Specs - Apple Support
It has two multi-purpose USB-C ports which support
If it is the four-port version, it has two additional single-purpose USB-C ports which support
Your iMac's Thunderbolt ports might be marked with a lightning-bolt symbol – but Lightning is a different type of port, found mostly on older iPhones, iPads, Magic Keyboards, and Magic Mice.
Apple has a USB-C to SD card reader that would work with your Mac, and there are more USB SDXC card readers on the market than you can shake a stick at. Many these days have USB-C plugs, and even the ones with USB-A plugs can be used with your Mac with the aid of an adapter (like the Apple USB-C to USB adapter).
