Hi, I am just a general user trying to figure out some information.
Is there any hardware or device that can retrieve SD card metadata such as if or when an SD card was last accessed by a computer, or when or if any images were last uploaded to a computer?

Yep ) , but

a line needs to be drawn somewhere between
1) SD card metadata (actual, real, existing)
and
2) SD card metadata (non-existing but that you would have liked to extract)

All you can have are plain filesystem (meta)data, and that will depend on the filesystem used, commonly SD cards are used with FAT32 that has not much of them, only created and modified date (none of which will tell you anything about last accessed by a computer or when/if files were "uploaded" to a computer or to any other device).

The other way round (i.e. determine if/when a SD card has been connected to a computer from data/logs/registry artifacts on the computer) is usually possible.
