Do I Need the Card Reader Software? If you own a Realtek card reader, you need the software. Otherwise, you might not be able to transfer any data to or from your SD card. If you've just purchased a new laptop or PC, though, and the card reader application is already installed, feel free to delete it.

Is it OK to uninstall Realtek?

You should [Disable] the RealTek device so that it does not continually get re-recognized and seek to re-install a corresponding driver. Navigate to the Device Manager, open the [Sound, video and game controllers] branch and right-click on [Realtek High Definition Audio] then choose [Disable].
