It will not be usable. You normally work with the partition table for the entire drive. In this case, you would use /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1. But besides that problem, it looks like the SD card is read-only, so you will not be able to partition it. Your log files may be able to tell you why. It could be that the card write-protect switch is turned on. It could also be a driver problem. Without knowing what hardware you are using to access the SD card, all we can do is guess at this time. Check the write protect switch on the card. If that is not the problem, look at the messages in /var/log/messages when you plug in the card. If that does not help, post the hardware you are using to access the card, and that will tell us what questions to ask to find the problem.
