I haven't had any problems mounting my 256mb SD card until today. I'm using an internal card reader. When I plug it in, the light blinks but nothing happens onscreen.
Here are some error messages/output:

/dev/sdc is entire device, not just one partition!

# dumpe2fs -o superblock=8193 /dev/sdc
dumpe2fs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
dumpe2fs: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/sdc
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
#e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdc
e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
e2fsck: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/sdc
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
# fsck /dev/sdc
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdc
Could this be a zero-length partition?

The only recent change to my system that I can remember is that I started to try networking my windows box to my linux box with the following:
sudo apt-get install smbfs
# update-rc.d -f umountnfs.sh remove
# update-rc.d umountnfs.sh stop 15 0 6 .
# gedit .smbcredentials
# chown root .smbcredentials
# chmod 600 .smbcredentials
