I'm going to upgrade the micro SD card I use for emulation to one with more storage. What is the best way to close the micro SD card I have in my steam deck now to a new one so I can just plug in and go with all my games and save files?

The Chaotic Good choice here is to install Syncthing on your Steam Deck and on another device with an sd card slot (something like a raspberry pi maybe?) and let them sync on a local network. Once the SD card is "cloned"/copied to the new SD card just stop the file sync.

Bonus points for getting Syncthing setup on your Steam Deck which will end up being useful in lots of other ways too!
