Lightroom is seeing and reading my SD card. However I'm not able to edit the photo at all from the card. I can only choose to import them some where else. I know for sure I was able to edit photos directly from the SD card in the past; I'm not sure what I'm missing.

That is generally to be expected. Lightroom (Mobile) works with images you have imported to the Lightroom (Cloud) catalog, however-

On a PC you can choose the "Local" mode to edit photos locally stored- It works for USB sticks but I haven't tested with an SD card. It would make good sense to copy them onto a local internal drive and not use the SD card.
