The only part I disagree with is that the contacts on the cards are
gold-plated. Gold does not corrode, and too much cleaning could wear it off.
It sounds as if you do not take the SM cards out of your camera too often. I
read mine by slapping them into an adaptor that plugs into one of my laptop's
slots. You may be able to safely make the connection work well by ejecting
then re-inserting the cards into your camera.
That said, I did have a case where a particular card appears to have gone dead
for a while, but it was only an 8Mb card, so pretty useless except at
lousy-resolution mode. I held onto it anyway, and tried it again recently. It
wanted a formatting, but seems to be OK.
