General
The SDGecko is a simple 'straight through' device meaning that it has no components and simply connects the SD card pins to the Gamecube memory card port pins. SD Cards have a SPI mode which is basically what the EXI bus (memory card ports) use which is why this device is so easy.
It is supported in the majority of Gamecube homebrew (emulators, gc-linux, etc). Since it the SD Card support is all software, SD and SDHC Cards are supported natively through libOGC.
Hardware Variations
Nintendo officially released the SD Gecko (DOL-019) in Japan and it is only compatible with Animal Crossing. After that there were generic 3rd party adapters released mainly for homebrew. When the Wii was released as there was no homebrew that was able to utilize the front-sd slot initially, there was higher demand for a SD adapter to dump games to. Due to that demand, the Wiikey team released the Wiikey SD Gecko to dump full Wii discs to SD Card via a Gamecube mode homebrew using the SD Gecko.
