I've had a similar issue on Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid, whenever I plugged in a SD card, nothing happens. No udev event (sudo udevadm monitor), no dmesg entry.

From `lsusb`:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:9360 Alcor Micro Corp. 8-in-1 Media Card Reader

So, it appears to be a driver issue. With modprobe sd<tab>, I found a driver that could help: sdhci

    sudo modprobe sdhci
After running that command, the LED turns on when I insert the SD card and the partitions gets recognised:
