I want to buy a Switch and a few games later but I bought an SD card from Amazon and it won't be here until Wednesday. Should I wait until Wednesday to buy a Switch or can I easily transfer game data between the internal memory and the SD card?

save data only exists on the internal memory. the only stuff you can put on the SD card are actual games.

Is it possible to transfer that data over to the SD card?

Your save data is always stored in the Switch's built-in memory (even if you have the physical cartridge) and cannot be moved anywhere else, but you can easily re-download the game itself on the SD card without losing your save data.

not unless there is some hack that I'm unaware of that will let you do it.
