In almost all jurisdictions, any money owed by a deceased person is payable from the assets of that person. Typically, money held in a bank account for that person can be used to pay outstanding bills but funds from other assets such as physical property, houses etc can be used.

If there are no assets (the deceased had no money and no property of value) then the amount owing on a credit card will be written off. In this case, his relatives are not responsible for the debts.
