The SD card that comes with the Miyoo Mini Plus can be used. However, it's known that these cards are cheap and have a high chance to fail. It's recommended to use a name brand card. If you don't own one or a SD card reader, I have links below for both.
This is a quick Onion OS 4.2.3 install guide for the Miyoo Mini Plus.

Recommend to NOT use the Stock SD card as it is unreliable and you will lose your Roms and Bios if you don't back them up before using Rufus. Follow backup instructions above Rufus link.

if you are on a Mac, instead of using Rufus you can format your SD card with the built-in Disk Utilities:
Open Application › Utilities › Disk Utilities
From the sidebar, select the USB drive
Choose Erase from the toolbar
Set Format › MS-DOS (FAT)
Set Scheme (if it exists) › Master Boot Record
Click Erase and wait for the process to finish
