iPhones do not store anything on the SIM card.

Moving the SIM card is the fastest and easiest way to activate your cell service.

To activate your phone it has to have a SIM card inserted.

To transfer settings and data see this:

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
