Maybe an option is to mount the SD in your phone's filesystem, then leave the SD in the phone and scp files from your laptop to the phone over wifi. I've done that to manage a SD full of music files on my PP before. There probably are GUI file managers that can do something similar.
You also could mount the SD over the network on your Mac/Windows laptop and transfer the files that way, i think SMB (Samba) might be one protocol that could work, there are a few others.
