Pictures on an SD card are not regarded as belonging to the computers file system (because the card with them on can be removed) and to store them in the trash can, they would have to be copied from the card onto an internal disk during the process of deletion.

Deletion does not usually move a file, it just changes the file header and move a reference to it to the trash can. When you restore a file you just change the header back. Obviously this would not work if you tried to restore a file on a SD card once the card is removed. Therefore the "trash can" system would/does not work for removable storage.

Some Macintosh Computers made in the last 5 years have an in built memeory card read/writer. If you you are using the internal reader then inserting the card into the drive, waiting until the card appears onscreen and using the click-and-drag method to copy files from the Mac desktop to the memory card will work. Should you have an earlier Mac that lacks the internal card drive then pluging the drive cable into the back of the Mac will allow access to the card. Mac are a bit different to other machines in that draging a disk icon to the trash can will eject the disk
