First, check if the files are opened or used by two or more programs simultaneously, which might cause the Finder to show the files as 0 bytes. If this is the issue, you should quit the programs first, and then check whether the Mac files still show zero bytes or not.
If the above method is useless, don't worry. Though the files show 0 bytes, the content is still there, which also means the file is not transferred successfully from the SD card. Then you can use a professional Mac data recovery app to retrieve these 0 kb files.
