There are ways to recover files from a corrupted SD Card, using PhotoRec. If you mistakenly erase files, use Recuva. Should not of formatted the card. Power off the phone, remove SD Card, insert into USB Card Reader and use one of the above programs on your PC. Maybe you might get something recovered. Then format the SD card in the PC, using FAT32, turn off quick check Mark. Will take a while to format. Good luck.
