OP seemed to be asking how to plug a USB thumb drive containing

Yes, I know that. I understood, I think everyone did.
But look at the bigger picture:
The question is: I want to take data on a USB stick & get it into
something that doesn't have USB ports but does have an SD card slot.
Data:
* USB sticks are cheap
* SD cards are cheap
* Gadgets to connect USB to SD are expensive & very hard to find
So turn the problem backwards. Replace your ?10 USB stick with a ?15
USB stick with an SD card in it. Move your data onto that one instead.
Then when you want to read the data on the USB-less device, remove
the SD card from the USB stick and put it in the SD slot of your
device.
Simple, easy, cheap, efficient, expandable.
Whereas trying to connect USB to SD is complex, difficult, expensive,
inefficient & not very expandable. Also, fragile & involves multiple
connections.
Why bother?
I have one of these:

It cost me about ?3. Less than the cost of a beer. Retail, it's ?6,
still less than a beer in a lot of Europe.
