It looks like that is a convergence edition with the 32GB eMMC and the SD card indeed isn't being assigned a device node. It should be showing up as /dev/mmcblk<something> and possible to manipulate even if it isn't flashed with a bootable system. Next thing to try is to run 'dmesg --follow' and see what messages are printed when inserting the card into the running phone. Then acquire and test some more SD cards. If none of them work, it may be a hardware problem.
(I am presuming that the MicroSD card is being inserted in the top slot as it should be - Wiki)

According to both of these, it's possible to damage the pins in the SD card reader.
Looks like the reader is on the mainboard so it would be possible to replace that rather than the entire phone.
