UGH!  Yes, they can.  It SHOULD cause a device parity error, 
but I guess some of their coverage is less than 100% 
perfect.  But, there are LOTS of reports of bad SD cards, 
cards with dramatically less capacity than stated on the 
outside, early failure after just a few hundred writes, lots 
of reports of total corruption when power is dropped without 
warning, etc.  Just read the horror stories online.
