Hi, you can use LUKS to create an encrypted partition for your USB/SD, for
more info look the man page, on GNU/Linux use 'man cryptsetup'.
Also if you want to encrypt a folder or a file you can use gpg and
symmetrically encrypt it.

Take care of your skeletons OP, install tomb now :)

Another method is AES-256 symmetric encryption with gpg, as pointed out by mate libremind.
