AFAIK the smartcard contains only your secret keys not the public keys. 
That's what the URL entry on the smartcard is for.
If you set the URL to a location where your public key is stored, you 
can import your public key on other systems using 
"gpg2 --card-edit" -> "fetch"
If you don't set an URL on the smartcard, gpg will search your default 
keyservers instead.
