Very common, in particular if it's SDXC. By spec they use exFAT which uses only one FAT so repair is more difficult than other formats. SDXC cards so formatted really should be treated as write only until ready to extract data, then read only until ready to reformat the media, and always reformat the media when you want to reuse it. And only reformat in the device used for writing (camera, video recorder, whatever). Regardless of the formatting, but made more risky with exFAT, is using the camera interface to delete individual images. It's better to just copy everything off the card and then delete the photos you don't want.
