The SIM card has none of your data on it except the credentials to connect to your cellular service provider's network. There is nothing to erase on it.

Learn how to remove or transfer the SIM card in your iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models).
Find your model below to locate the SIM tray. To pop open the SIM tray, insert a paper clip or a SIM-eject tool into the hole beside the tray. Push in, toward the iPad, but don’t force it. If you're having difficulty ejecting the SIM tray, take your device to your carrier or an Apple Store for assistance.
After you remove your SIM card from the tray, notice the notch in one corner of the new SIM card. Place the new SIM card into the tray — it will fit only one way, because of the notch. Then insert the tray into the device completely and in the same orientation that you removed it. The tray also fits only one way.
Find the SIM tray on the right side, near the bottom:
•iPad mini (6th generation)
•iPad Pro 11-inch (all models)
