A quick review of the source code reveals that SD card support is disabled for the time being.

//#define SDSUPPORT // Enable SD Card Support in Hardware Console

To enable usage of the SD card will require re-flashing the firmware. 
Some fantastic reading below.

SD card directories

If you have an SD card reader attached to your controller, also folders work now. Listing the files in pronterface will show "/path/subpath/file.g". You can write to file in a subfolder by specifying a similar text using small letters in the path. Also, backup copies of various operating systems are hidden, as well as files not ending with ".g".

Autostart

If you place a file auto[0-9].g into the root of the sd card, it will be automatically executed if you boot the printer. The same file will be executed by selecting "Autostart" from the menu. First *0 will be performed, than *1 and so on. That way, you can heat up or even print automatically without user interaction.

"To send jobs to the printer, you just connect the Press to a computer via a USB. The Press also has an SD slot; in a future free firmware update, it will be able to print jobs right off a SD card."
