If I have bootcamp installed on a Macbook Air, is it possible to have a 32 GB or 64 GB SD card as a Windows boot drive on the current Macbook Air? I want to have the SD card as a boot drive instead of partitioning my hard drive for Windows 7.
 
I don't think windows 7 boots from a sdcard. I wasn't able to find any way to do it when I needed to last month. I have read that windows 8 enterprise has a usb boot function and there is a 90 day trial available.

your other alternative is to use parallels and use a vm
 
If you could, it would be slow. Even with a high performance flash card.
 
You could use VMware and store the VM on the SD card.

SDHC cards should average around the same speed as an external drive. It won't be great to run an VM from, but it would work.

Alternatively, make the minimum size partition for boot camp on the internal drive for the windows install, and use a large SD card for storage.
