Whenever I try to take a pic of my Home Menu this pops up, how do I fix it?

How old is your SD Card? (If you use the one that came with the console, how old is the console?)
SD Cards don't last that long, and yours is probably dying, you should probably replace it.
Contrary to what Nintendo says, the 3DS supports SD cards larger than 32GB, although boot times can slow down if there's a lot of data on it, and anything larger than 128GB starts to have issues.

Once you get your SD card, you should probably use a program like h2testw to test the SD card to see if it's a counterfeit (counterfeit cards have much less capacity and will cause you to lose data).

After that, remove your old SD card from your 3DS (turn the console off first) (since yours is a New 3DS, you'll need to remove the back plate with a screwdriver (#0 or #00, I'm not sure, be careful not to strip the screws, they're also not supposed to fall out, they'll only get loose, afterwards you can pull the cover off)

Copy the /Nintendo 3DS/ folder from your SD card as a whole to your computer. Do not open or modify the files inside, they will fail the signature check, become unrecognizable, and will be deleted by the system. Insert the new SD card and copy the /Nintendo 3DS/ folder to the new SD card, and insert it into the 3DS.

Notes:
  • SD cards larger than 32GB must be formatted as FAT32, otherwise the 3DS will not recognize them. Windows won't let you do this, so use something like guiformat.
  • SD cards larger than 64GB must use an allocation unit size of 65,536. SD cards 64GB or smaller should use 32,768.
  • It is recommended to use the official SD Formatter for 32GB and smaller SD cards.

I believe my SD card is 2-3 years old at this point (my console is 5 yrs old)

That's weird. The SD card that came with my console is 7 years old and hasn't encountered any errors (although most of my games are card-based)
I still recommend backing up the Nintendo 3DS folder on the SD card, and then testing the SD card, but removing the SD card on New 3DS consoles is way too difficult than it ever should've been.

thank you for this (I just bought a 128GB)

now for my next question; my New 3DS XL is modded, if anyone has Luma Bios & Super Skater (im also running CFW IF IM NOT MISTAKEN, DONT KNOW HOW TO FIND THAT BUT IM PRETTY SURE I AM), when I copy all my files from one to the next and they arent tampered with, will my DS recognize it correctly if I do all the formatting properly.

to put it simpler, if I were to format my new SD & copy everything from my modded SD to my new formatted one, will my DS be capable of finding all my mod files properly so I wont have to set up everything again? (and start literally all of my Save Data's from about 2011 forward, over again :') )

yeah
The long process was for jailbreaking the system. As long as you have the same files on the new SD card your 3ds will look the same. You don't need to jailbreak the SD card.
