This is true only if you're using that sad excuse for a filesystem
called NTFS.

1) Plug-in source card, use dump(8) to backup the contents of its
filesystem.
2) Plug-in target card, create appropriate partition(s) on it.
3) Make the needed amount of filesystems on a target SD card.
For ext4 you'll want to use -U option of mkfs to clone filesystem UUIDs
(i.e. UUID on the target card must be the same compared to the source
one).
4) Use restore(8) to recreate filesystem(s) contents on a target card.
5) Unmount filesystems made on a target card.
