If you have a recent iPhone, running iOS 11 or later, just bring it near your new iPhone at the beginning of setup, and you’ll get a prompt on your old iPhone to begin the transfer.

Your iPhone stores nothing on the sim card. It just uses it to connect to the cellular network. Once you have finished transferring your data via Quick Start, go ahead and swap the sim card.
