Is that a faster way to transfer/offload camera pics to a computer?

Forgive a dumb question...I don't own a digital camera or have ever used a SD card.
Not quite. Consumer/prosumer cameras support SD, but pro cameras have mostly moved to CFExpress. SD cards top out at ~300mbps, CFExpress can get up to 4gbps. CFExpress uses PCIe 3.0, same as SSDs.

That said, some CFExpress cards can fit in an SD slot so Apple could choose to support both (type A) but AFAIK only Sony uses this format. Nikon and Canon use type B, which is larger.
