Excerpt from Wikipedia:
In accordance with §7213 of the 9/11 Commission Implementation Act of 2004 and 20 CFR 422.103, the number of replacement Social Security cards per person is generally limited to three per calendar year and ten in a lifetime.
Yes, any employer/HR outfits that tell you that they require your social security card are grossly misinformed, as that would not be legal.
