I'm pretty sure you can use Disk Utility to securely erase an SD card. If you have a Mac with a built-in reader or one you are using an external card reader with, select it in the listing on the left, then go to the Erase tab on the right. Then choose Security Options and either drag the slider bar or choose the 1/7/32 pass zero out and then Erase.
