The magnet on a case will not affect an iPhone SIM card, except where Apple has said that it can affect the performance of the antenna near the mic/speaker. It will not damage your iPhone.

Apple conveyed that a magnet located near the bottom of the phone (near the mic and speaker) could interfere with reception (as in receiving a call). There's no way it could affect those parts in any permanent way.

Also, magnets do NOT affect flash memory in any way. Magnets should NOT be used on cases for hard drive style iPods because it CAN affect the data on those drives, but not the other hardware components.
