You could just move your apps back to internal memory and then swap out the card and reformat.
I think its even easier:
Dismount SD card, remove and insert in PC, copy its contents and then copy them to your new card. Insert new card.
That's what I did when I formated my card when I was suspicious it had errors. No need to move data to memory.

[Q] Migrating to a new microsd card

Hello all, I have a rooted play running stock firmware 2.3.4.
I want to migrate to a bigger SD card and have done a titanium backup of my apps. However some of my apps I "moved to sd card". So my question is can I copy all my files and folders from the old sd card to my desktop and then to the new sd card? Will the apps on the sd card work just fine? Please advise. Thank you.

Worked for me. I replaced mine that way with no problem. Just make sure you copy everything, and don't wipe the old card until you test out the new one, just in case.

You don't even have to do a titanium backup, all you need to do is copy EVERYTHING, that includes hidden folders, make sure you backup android.secure folder, that's where everything you "Move to SD Card" in settings goes
All that you have to do is copy everything from your old SD card straight to your new one. I did this upgrading from an 8gb micro SD to a 32gb micro SD.

[Q] SD card help

Hey all, I have a question. I got a nice, new sandisk SD card for my GS3 for Christmas. I am use the the Epic where when you put in the SD card all music, photos, backups, downloads, etc go directly to the SD card. How, if possible, can I get it to work this way on the GS3? I haven't been using a SD card up to this point and when looking in my storage it appears as though it made a "fake" SD card location on the phone memory. I want all that gets put in the "fake SD" on my actual SD card. I know I can just copy it over, but will all the apps recognize the move? Also I want future SD items to go directly to the SD card.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

The thing is that on the S3 it also has an internal storage site
Theres a thread in the General section (i think) on how to swap the internal storage with external
