What do you mean by "a corrupted SD card"?
As I know, the corrupted SD card could be damaged in two ways: logically or physically.
The logically damaged drive is till fixable and inner contained data is also recoverable.
What one should do to resolve this problem is to firstly retrieve the contained pictures off from this SD card and format this SD card to see whether it could be fixed afterwards.
