Yes they are hot swapable. At least mine is. For A1200/A600 this is an easy way to move files between your PC and Amiga. Keep in mind to use the Lha utility when you need to retain protection bits etc when copying from the Amiga e.g. doing a full backup of your system to the pcmcia CF-card.
For A500 (no pcmcia slot) you now have Accelerator cards (such as the Wicher 500i and TF534) with spi interfaces which means you can use SD cards with your A500 or even spi->eth. Of course moving files over the network (ftp) is also an option e.g. pcmcia->eth-adapter or on A500 Plipbox but speed isn't that great.
