"I have some micro SD card and an external hard drive. I want to encrypt the files inside the SD card, but I don't know how to do it. I want these drives to be password protected or encrypted so that they can be used wherever they are (on smartphones, tablets or computer) requires a password to make me the only person who can access the drive."
I believe that you have seen a lot of spy movies. In the movie plot, you should see that it takes some time and effort to crack most encrypted data devices such as Micro SD cards, USB flash drives, Android phone memory cards, digital cameras. Memory cards and all other external storage devices, even if you are a professional decryption expert or nothing. Moreover, if you insist on cracking an encrypted device, there is a risk of decryption failure and data corruption.
