Please post in the correct section. Your SD card's internal formatting is bad, and your card will need to be replaced.

...what in the world would a magnet do? No, once it has lost it's format, there is no reeasonable way to recover it.

In the general section, which is where basically all questions go...and yeah, you can buy a profesional flash memory reformatter....which is around 200USD...just buy yourself a new 40 dollar SD card and be done with it.
