Installing games on an SD card on your Steam Deck is actually pretty straightforward! Just pop in your SD card, then head over to Steam's Settings > Downloads, and under STEAM LIBRARY FOLDERS, you add a new library on your SD card. When you download a game, you can choose this new library on your SD card as the destination. Easy peasy!

Been there, done that! Don't forget to format your SD card as exFAT for the best compatibility with your Steam Deck. After setting up, installing games on it is a breeze. Just remember to select your SD card as the install location every time you download a new game. Works like a charm!
