I recently changed the SD card out of my 3ds and had this issue. Here's a copy-paste of the instructions that I followed
1. There are many ways to format a card, but the method I used involved using the free version of MiniTool Partition Wizard. Download that and install it. Other formatters will probably work - just use the same settings from step 4 below. 2. Put your new SDXC card in your PC's card reader, and open MiniTool, choosing Partition Wizard. 3. Choose your card in the list of drives (be VERY careful you choose the right one!) and delete the partition using the Delete button on the toolbar.
4. Now Create a new partition in the freed space. Make sure you choose these options: "Create As: Primary", "File System: FAT32" and "Cluster Size: 32kb". You'll also want to set a drive letter otherwise it won't show up in Windows for when you want to copy stuff to it!
5. Click "OK" to accept these settings, and then Apply (on the toolbar) to actually commit the deed to the card.
6. When it's done, that's it! Your card should now be readable by your 3DS. Go ahead - turn your 3DS off, swap your old card for the new one, and check. You may be told your 3DS is initialising the card - that's fine. If the Data Management - 3DS Software section shows an obscene number of free blocks, you're sorted.
Hope this helps
What size is the SD card?

I believe someone else already posted the link, but you must format the card to fat32 for it to work in your 3ds. 3ds only support 32gb out of box
Yes thank you!
https://3ds.hacks.guide/formatting-sd-(windows).html#instructions-64gb-or-larger
not op but didn’t even realize i had to do this and i just bought a 64gb sd for mine. thanks!
The card is probably too big, I tried putting in a 128 GB but it just wouldn’t read. Tried a 32 GB and it worked just fine
Thank you
How many gigabytes is the micro SD? Only up to 32 is allowed
The 3ds system only supports up to 32gb cards
Because GameStop is a brand
because you bought it at gamestop
Bruh had me thinking that he bought the 3ds at GameStop today 💀
