    Unmount old one and remove
    Insert new one into phone
    Settings-sdcard-unmount-format
    When formatting complete, unmount again
    Remove from phone
    Copy all files from old card to PC
    Copy and paste all old files from PC to new card
    When prompted to replace duplicate files select no.
    Insert new card back into phone
    Let sd scan run and you are done.

    Or

    Plug in your device to your PC
    Create a folder on you PC called SDCard
    Copy everything from you card to that folder on your PC
    Unplug your device, remove old SD Card.
    Put in your new SD Card and format it from the instructions above
    Copy all fills from your PC to your new SD Card
    Unplug your device and let your device scan your new card.

    Either way will work.

    I'd recommend option A simply on the fact that using the unmount option can potentially save card corruption. I've swapped out many cards, but without that option, I've had some show as corrupted when connected via usb set to mass storage. It can't hurt and can only benefit you in the long run to perform this extra step.

    Will these methods work on my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx since I'm rooted with safestrap installed (and an "sdcard-ext" directory as well)? I have the stock 16 GB card in my Razr currently but wanna put my old 32 GB in if it's not too much hassle.

    Those methods should work fine. The problem its that the sd-ext partition isn't going to show up on a fat32 system. But since you're rooted you probably have titanium backup or some other back up app and you should do a full back up of user apps and then partition your new card with sd-ext and a fat32. Try 4Ext from the market as a recovery image, its touch and it partitions and formats great.
