But just for fun, I'll bet you anything in the world that not "everyone else," even in this day and age, uses cloud sync. :-)
You might be once you figure out you just lost a bunch of data.
SIM is only going to contain contacts you specifically saved to it... which generally isn't many, as it's not the default storage for contacts, and is limited in what data it can save.
SD Card will have the info you saved to it, hopefully your photos and documents, but not texts, contacts, emails.... And that's if you didn't encrypted it, if encrypted, that data is only accessible via the old phone.
If the old phone works to the degree you can run Ultimate Backup... you can use your SD Card to get "most" of your information over to your new phone. If your old phone is completely dead, you'll just have to see...
Might be worth swapping out some parts like battery and display to see if you can get your data....
