I would email her some jpegs at 800x600 75 DPI. If she then asked, I would probably send one or two prints. If you are a professional, it is good advertising; if not, why not give her a gift?
NO to sharing your memory card. There is no guarantee that she would not damage the files in messing around with it. I would ask for her e-mail and offer to send her ten or so of your images after you have seen them.

If you are a pro tell her so, and offer to sell her 3 or 4 at your current rate. If you are not, offer to e-mail a few, or as many as she wants,signed and dated. But NEVER let your cards out of your possesion. As an amateur, that's what I would do

Recently, while on a cruise, I did a shore excursion to visit a penguin colony on the Falkland Islands. We were a van of 4 people. Three people were taking photographs. One person was using a cellphone camera. One women had a point-and-shoot camera. I was using my Nikon D500 with a 300mm zoom lens with a monopod.
At the top of the hill was the penguin breeding area where the newly hatched chicks were waiting for their parents to return with food. The colony consisted of Gentoo, Magellan and King ePenguins. The parents had to walk (waddle) about 1/2 mile from the water to the nesting area to give their chicks food.
That day I took over 1000 exposures of the chicks, their parents making the 1/2 mile trek from the ocean and the parents feeding them.
A few days later the women with the point and shoot camera tells me there was a problem with her camera and would I give her my photos. She asked me to give her my memory cards so she can copy them.
What would you do?
1) First question - Would you share your photos?
2) Do you tell her you do not share your photos.
3) Do you give her your memory card. [probably/definitely not]
4) Do you ask her for a memory card and you copy your photos for her [assuming you have a computer.]
5) Do you tell her they are RAW files and there is nothing she can do with them.
6) Do you tell her my memory cards are XQD which need a special card reader.
7) Tell her next time to buy a better camera.
8) Check your setting before staring out on an important photo assignment.
9) Take a couple of test shots and analyze them before staring out on an important photo assignment.
But the real first question is “Would you share your photos?”

First of all, I would not give her the memory card to copy, because there is no guarantee you will ever get it back. Secondly, I typically shoot the best quality RAW the camera will take, plus a mediocre JPG that I can quickly look at and post on the internet if I want to. I would have no problem letting her have the JPGS, but not the RAW pictures. The JPGS are good enough if she wants to get an 8x10 picture made or show others where she has been. Since I am an amateur and my photos are amateurish, I don't worry if others copy them.

Yes.
No, cannot have my memory card.
Provide new storage media in original packaging to ensure there is no malware surreptitiously being put on my computer.
Give only JPEGS of low quality.

My thoughts, too. I doubt that she would use them commercially. You could say something like, "I don't want to overwhelm you with over a thousand pictures so I'm sending you the best." Case cosed.
I personally would have given the woman some photos. I would have asked her what happened with her camera and offer to take a look at it and help her use it so the next time she has no issue. Ask for her email and send her some photos. This may have been a once in a lifetime trip for her.
How long was the excursion? Where was the cruise just out of curiosity.
I took pictures back in July of a traditional Vietnamese wedding. And have yet to look at them. I'd tell her to give me her email address and I'll get back to her when I get a chance. Who's got time for nonsense. She took pictures with a P&S. Tell her to Google 'Penquins'. There's lots of pictures there. Hell! Google the exact location and get pictures of the very same penquins. She won't appreciate your pictures anyways.
No I would not under any circumstances. You have no idea what the person is planning to do with them.
Ask her email and send her some good jpeg photos. If yes and done, hopefully she will be satisfied and end of it. If no, that would save you some work. Insist on borrowing memory card is unreasonable and a little bit rude. You should decline/ignore such request.

If I was in a generous mood I would select and download a small group of images for her. I would not give her everything And I certainly would not give her my SD cards so she could down load the images herself for so many obvious reasons that I won't list them all here.

And what do you say when she insists she won't be overwhelmed by over a thousand pictures.
Not no, heck no! As said here before, if you feel like it, get email and send what you wish.
