Did you eject it via "safely remove hardware" before removing it from the computer? If not, it might have become corrupted. You could also try removing and replacing the card to see if that helps - also try rebooting the phone. Maybe even a battery pull just to be sure.

You can use the Windows error-checking utility to look for and repair problems on a card (right click on drive letter, Properties, Tools, Check for errors). DO NOT defragment the card.
 
If the above suggestion doesn't work, you may need to reformat the card, after copying the contents off of the card. (do a full format, not a quick)

Fyi: you don't need to remove the card to copy files to it, just use the usb (charging) cable that came with the phone and plug it in to the computer and mount it as a disk drive.
And always make sure you properly unmount the card/phone when removing from the computer or phone. Don't just take it out or you may run into this issue again.
