SD card reader not working on high sierra

You are correct. This issue is supposed to be about the internal card reader on 2010 Mac Mini not being detected by the most recent updates to High Sierra. Several external usb card readers Ive tried do work so I wish folks would quit posting about how to get these usb readers to work and stick to the issue of trying to get the internal readers to work! Apple should be able to fix this without too much trouble if they just would!

Your reply to digitalrex is helpful to some extent and I am glad that there is a video out there which might help others. My problem is a different one as I mentioned yesterday. SD card reader DOES work for me - it's just that there is glitch in working with videos in iMovie. I entered into this discussion but now realize that the better approach is for me to start a new discussion about my specific issue and will do that shortly. But thanks again for taking the time to post here.

I can see the card in the System Report, but can't mount the chip. Similarly, I can't get photos loaded into Aperture from my iPhone or Camera, and USB drives aren't working.

I had thought there was just something wrong with the jump drive I had been given until I saw the answers here and realized my chip reader was exhibiting a similar problem. What fresh **** is this?

I have a 2014 MacBook Air with High Sierra 10.13. A 16GB SDHC (FAT32) card mounts, and permits read, and write of files to it. Ejects normally.

Same here, several different SD cards, all same thing since "upgrading." Frustrating!

No issue using my 2012 Mini.

I have the same issue. MacBook Pro, early 2011. I tried SMC reset without success.

Same here. Mac mini (mid 2010) card reader not working since update. Tried the SMC reset several times - nothin'

I also tried the MSC reset with no change

it still wil not show my SD cards and i have tried several different cards

Yes I do see the vendor I'D

But there is no change when I insert a card

Can you tell me what I can't right now to alleviate either the software or Hardware problem thanks very much

I'll be glad to do that, but I have no idea how. I'm just an old school artist, not really a computer guy.
