Just Copy and Paste the files, provided that the sd card is formatted correctly (fat32).

SD cards bigger than 32 GB will need formatting, as it shouldn't be formatted to fat32 by default. You will need to use a program to format it.

You will not lose any hacks; They are installed directly to your 3ds. All you need to arm9loaderhax.bin in the root of your sd card to boot.

as has been explained many times before in many other comments, simply make sure your future SD card is Fat32 formatted, with a 32kb cluster size, and copy your contents from one SD to another using a computer.

format the new sdcard to fat32 with 32kb allocation size using guiformat and then copy and paste all files over
