I use SD cards interchangeably on Mac and PC every day with no issues. As mentioned if you delete a file under the MacOS there is a safety net of a hidden track folder on the card which will allow you to restore deleted files.. You can either get rid of this by emptying the Trash whilst on the mac or if you put the Card on a Windows machine simply delete the underline Trash folder which is visible there.
