How to fix the 'there's a problem with this SD card' error?

I'm running onion os on my Miyoo Mini. Generally, everything is working great. My one real concern is that every time I put my SD card back into my PC, I get the "there's a problem with this SD card" warning and I have to scan and repair it. Does anyone know what's causing this? I've tried with 3 different SD cards. Plus, how can I fix this issue?
