When I'm flashing a new ROM, I like to install it as cleanly as possible. Usually a factory reset along with wiping cache and dalvik. Doing this, I know my sdcard contents will remain safe. Does wiping system in TWRP wipe out my sdcard as well? If not, I'll start doing that as well. If it does, I guess I won't.
Will wiping System in TWRP delete contents of sdcard?

no, only /system.
only time your SDCARD is wiped is if you choose format /sdcard.

No. Wiping system wipes /system. Wiping internal storage wipes the internal storage. The two don't cross at all.
Thanks a lot, both of you.
For giggles, what does wiping system do? Obviously wipes system, but I mean in terms of flashing a new ROM. How is it beneficial, I guess is what I'm asking.

it makes the /system partition is clean so there is no remnants of the previous rom.
most rom installs include a script that wipe it, so generally its not needed.
You will also lose the contents of /sdcard when you lock/unlock your bootloader. (root)
I do literally everything except wipe external SD.
Even Format Data.

bump LOL does wiping the ext_sd actually wipe the data or is it still accessible via linux? im hoping that it only deletes the data table
I know this is now 4 months old, so using twrp system wipe- wipes out the current android firmware too or no?
If you just want to delete everything from Android SD card , you'd better use eraser tool to do ,
Once you use it to erase your Android SD card , all of the data save on the SD card can be completely deleted ,
