The SD card should already have been formatted by your camera. Have you successfully used that SD card to store pictures on?

Is it an SD, SDHC or SDXC card and what size.? The iPad won't read SDXC cards or cards over 32GB. The usual format is FAT32 (and not ExFAT). Use your camera to format, or your computer.
