It uses lsblk to scan for devices (https://invent.kde.org/system/kpmcore/-/blob/master/src/plugins/sfdisk/sfdiskbackend.cpp?ref_type=heads#L74)

Can you paste output of lsblk?

I figured it out randomly, it appears that my SD's read'only switch is faulty and triggers itself when not needed. And, this is the point, when the SD is read-only KDE Partition manager does not even show it. 
I don't know if this is by design or what, but I think this could turn out to be useful for others.
