Hello, is it possible to move data from one memory card to another in the SL3? best regards

Not that I know of others will chirp in and tell me if wrong. My question is why would you want to?

To SD card and then insert card into the Mac. In case I don't have a cable etc. with me

Drop a small card reader in a corner of your bag.  Or write to both cards simultaneously. Or copy the internal memory to the SD card

There isn't an internal memory on SL3. The 8GB is a buffer.

Well, that option is out then. 😉

Maybe use the phone as memory? 
you can transfer to the phone the data over usbc > and that way the as card is free for new images until you free both at home. 
 
1. via usbc cable 

2. via wireless

And Lightroom Mobile will automatically upload to iCloud to use it in Lightroom on all devices.

Not sure what you are trying to do, but you can write file data to both CFe and SD cards at the same time so that moving data is not necessary.

If you select the 'backup' option you can test this yourself, just take a CF Express card, take one picture, then insert the SD card and select backup and check if it copies on the SD card... I dont know if it will.

If not, you can connect the USB C from your SL3 to your Mac? Assuming you must have a USB C Cable with you to charge things?

Failing that the Leica Fotos app, transfer to phone and then Airdrop it all to your Mac, works nicely.

If you have Windows and a card reader that can read both cards at once just open the File Manager and transfer them that way.  You can always just copy from one card to the hard drive and then transfer to the 2nd card.
