I'm running out of space for my 3DS so I was going to buy a new SD card while it's cheap but I have downloaded games and stuff.

My question is: If I transfer my data to a new SD card will it keep my downloaded games and all the game data for my games?
Another dumb question is: How do you transfer data? :p

Just move all in one go from SD to a folder on computer desktop. Insert new card and copy all to that and insert in the same console. Works fine :-) ive done it before

I didn't think you could put the files on a computer!

if its the same console you can . Games are attached to the console so as long as you play the games from the SD on the same console its fine. I back up my sd card regularly; photos and streetpass info. Just open the sd in My Computer and hit CTRL-A and then CTRL-C and paste it into your desktop or other folder.
[You cannot copy over to another console's SD card and use the stuff in another console as games will not transfer over].
