Agreed with Ari - displaying card logos on the checkout page is a good visual indicator of the payment options that are available, potentially saving users a click and some scanning to find this information.
Displaying the accepted cards on the home page is overkill in my opinion. The only case where I see it as justifiable is a store which has an "official payment provider", such as Visa for the Olympics (see e.g. http://www.vancouver2010.com/store/). A final note: If your site supports payment options like Paypal and Google Checkout, it may be a good idea to display these not just on the checkout page, but on product details pages as well. This allows customers who wish to use these options to self-select earlier in the checkout flow, and to avoid potentially having to enter billing and shipping details twice (on your site and on the payment provider's).
