First the obvious. Are you sure you have made a bootable image on the SD card? Is there
another way to check if it boots from the card? A normal file copy won't copy the
bootloader to the target device.

Second is the SD card reader device set up as a bootable device in your virtual machine?
Setting it up requires (in the command line) a combination of:

$ vboxmanage storagectl ...

$ vboxmanage storageattach ...
