The 3ds comes with a 4gb SD card. what is the max size it supports and are games saved to the SD card like on a PSP, or the games carts like on a DS? and is there anything that won't transfer over if I upgrade to a 32 gb or 64 gb card later?

Max size is 32GB. I recently upgraded from my 2GB card to a 32GB card, all I did was copy and paste my SD card data on my laptop and drag it into my 32GB card. I believe some game data is on the system, while some is on the SD card - though, I'm not entirely sure.

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/ht_settings.jsp?menu=data%20management&submenu=ctr-ht-settings-tranfer-data-to-sd <-- points to the options.. must select the SD to SD on the left to get those steps.

According to Nintendo's steps it should copy everything over just how he explained it. I can see probly the main system settings not copying over (IE: Network Settings) but all data should copy over. Unless your transfering between 3DS's while upgrading to a larger card there shouldn't be any issue.

It is nice to know that the largest SG card that will work is 32gb tho. im still useing the 2gb one the system came with.
