Who creates smartcard OSen, where do they come from, and how do we know that they don't have any backdoor routines in them?
There is no way you can be sure: the chip manufacturer could have set one up in the hardware and bypass your code entirely :).
You will have to trust somebody at some point, so as Damien said you could rely on a card evaluated by a third party.
However, playing with an Open Source OS would be fun!
