So as I was moving some backed up games I have on my PC my SD card just up and stops working and demands I reformat it. I am being told that I am bricked because it has all of my stuff needed to boot? is this true?
There's no stuff on the SD that's needed to boot, CBHC can work without a SD card at all AFAIK. But to boot HBL you need the .elf in the right location on SD.
You might be able to recover the data on it with a partition recovery tool such as Recuva (free) or GetDataBack (paid, but seems to work better for me), that way you won't lose your data, but don't format the drive or do anything else to it cause that will lower the chances of recovering your data.

Sorry I just am afraid to make any mistakes... I just booted it and it seems to be loading just fine... so what do I need to do to get the SD card back in order?
Edit:When I asked what happens if I lose/break the SD card on the Discord I got some people saying I was screwed so that is where part of this comes from... wasn't sure what was needed to boot...

Trying to recover data on a corrupted SD card is not recommended in this situation, as the files on your SD card are meant to work together. In other words, recovering some but missing others will likely cause problems.
Seeing that your SD acted up and seems to be corrupted, I advice that you try to test your SD card reader (the one you're using to move files to your PC), maybe it's faulty and your SD is actually healthy. Or that you test the same SD card with another reader.
I "recovered" lot's of SD cards that had problems when I changed to a branded USB 3.0 Card reader from amazon. My older chinese SDXC readers had lots of problems, specially overheating.

Yeah, only the alternate CBHC options need an SD Card. (Those alternates being booting Mocha or the Homebrew Launcher .elf)
You don't need an SD Card to go to vWii or use the built-in CBHC sigpatcher + region free + FTPiiUEverywhere option. (Although I'm in the minority for preferring Mocha, mostly due to the principle of least privilege - or to put it simply, I prefer not to have FTTPiiUEverywhere on unless I'm actively using it)

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
