You may have luck with setting a specific reader-port (see `man scdaemon`).

But, unless you need to use the command line, it's probably much easier to use 
Kleopatra which supports multiple card readers and multiple card apps 
(OpenPGP, PIV) per reader out of the box. Kleopatra doesn't support everything 
`gpg --card-edit` or the new gpg-card tool support.
