You can script that (use --with-colons, --status-fd and command-fd).
There is even a gpgme interface to it.  It is also possible to read the
content from a file in the --card-edit menu:

  privatedo 4 < FILE

Another way to sscript this is by using gpg-agent and gpg-connect-agent.
Have a look at the gpg/gpg-agent/scdaemon communication by enabling a
log file for scdaemon and using "debug 1024".
