Social security cards are going to depend a lot on the government you're
talking about. For example, you should never accept US social security
cards as any form of identification. I believe current US social
security cards even say this on them. Mine (and I haven't heard that
this has changed, although it's possible) contains absolutely no
anti-counterfeiting security measures and does not have a photograph.
I could trivially print one out on a laser printer.
Other countries issue cards for similar uses that are much more robust.
