I'm getting a new SD card soon and want to know if there's anything I should know. I do not have a computer but I dont mind waiting for re-downloads either. Is there anything "technical" about this process or is it really simple?

Hmm not really. If you dont even want to transfer the data then there isn't a lot of things to do. Maybe read the tag below?

SWITCH'S DATA ALLOCATION

･ All data, including games' install data (the game + DLC + Update), screenshots, gameplay capture videos, users' settings & save data are initially stored on the Switch's internal memory.

･ From the moment a microSD card is put into the Switch, all future games' install data, screenshots, gameplay capture videos will be stored into that microSD card. This will be applied to any other subsequent microSD card put into the Switch.

･ Past games' install data, screenshots, gameplay capture videos will not be automatically moved over to the newly inserted microSD card and will stay in the Switch's internal memory or previous microSD card. You can manually move them in System Settings ⚙️ > Data Management.

※ Important: Users' settings and Save Data will always remain on the Switch's internal memory and cannot be moved over to the microSD card.

･ In order to move data from one microSD card to another, type !tag sdt for a guide.
