For that purpose you need an adapter - SCSI to SD. I have seen only adapters which fit to standard 50 pin interface but not ones fitting inside a PowerBook.
Your PowerBook boots and works with external SCSI drive. It is quite simple arrange connection via external SCSI port.
Google with ’SCSI2SD’ or similar.

I've used similar adapters with my SCSI Amiga systems and they work well for those systems.

>> I am just about to try to fit a 4Gb SD card to my PB 160 in place of its
80Mb hard drive. Any tips? Has anyone tried this? Any problems encountered?
I don’t know about SD cards, but I’ve done this about 15 years ago with a
Compact Flash card in a PB 1400.
Here’s something I posted back then, a little adapted, with a new link at
the top:
https://www.pcengines.ch/newshop.php?c=4
There are different types of adapters; make sure you get one especially
for a notebook! The company hard-wired mine (on request) as 'master', not
'cable detect'.
I had to drill new holes into the HD mounting bracket, which I should have
done after connecting the adapter to the HD cable and determining the best
place for the holes. Now, I had a hard time getting the cable into the PB.
But after that, everything was completely smooth. I'm still wondering
whether a faster CF card would give more speed, but at the moment I'm
running 8.6 with WamCom Mozilla 1.3.1 and it's really workable, of course
also because my PB is a 166MHz and has 64MB.
Startup takes about 2 minutes (I don't have a lot of extensions in it yet)
and wake up from sleep about 1 minute.
The only funny thing is that at startup, I often get the dreaded question
mark ("no boot disk found"). There may be something with the hardware
timing, because I press Ctrl-Cmd-Power and then it boots normally.
And just to make sure: there's no hack, everything completely regular.
