You should be able to do a nandroid backup, copy the nandroid folder over to your new sdcard, boot back into clockwork with new sdcard, nandroid restore.

edit: answers below are also correct, so it depends if there are things you want to transfer from old sdcard to new. If you want apps and settings, do my process.

If you have docs, photos etc, copy them over using a pc as stated.

If you only care about the rom, then just simply swap the cards.

Unless you installed apps on the SD card you should just be able to swap. If there are any files (eg photos) that you want to keep then use a pc to copy them from one card to the other.

Your rom is installed on your phone so it doesnt really matter if you swap out your memory card.

Hi I want to keep my phone settings, apps and homescreens. Can you explain what I would do to keep everything? Thanks for all your help guys.

You should boot into clockworkmod. Do a full nandroid backup (can't remember the exact menu options, plus I think it differs depending on clockworkmod version).

Take out sdcard, put into a pc sdcard reader and copy everything off it.

Put your new sdcard in the reader and copy everything onto that.

Put new sdcard into phone, boot up and see if everything is as it should be. If not, go back into clockworkmod and do a nandroid restore.

edit: make sure you have enough free space on your old sdcard in order to do the full nandroid backup - might be several hundred MB in size.
