I copy the photos to my laptop and also leave them on SD-card :) If I need more space for new photos, I just take another SD-card.

Please do not use SD cards as a long term backup.

Most cards will suffer bitrot in 5-7 years, and may be completely unreadable in 10+ years.

None of my several handful of cards that are 10+ years old are viable anymore (and they were stored in a climate controlled, low humidity, antistatic bag).
