Probably the easiest way would be to do as Robert suggests and use a VM. Virtualbox, and debian works fine. The only obstacle you may run into is have an sdcard reader recognized in the VM. *if* even needed.
Depending on what you're trying to do, and how you want to do it, a flash card reader may not even be needed. OSX should have access to better tools for "flashing" an sdcard than Windows. Then, one would / could just use various tools over the host only network to transfer files between the VM and OSX. If just simple executables, sshfs, netcat, and other standard UNIX tool would work fine to transfer files directly from one system to the other.
