I want to move JPEG photos from my DSLR's SD card to my iPhone while traveling, without using a computer, so I can crop/resize and then email or post them. I'm open to using extra hardware or wireless accessories. Is there a practical way to do this on a non-jailbroken iPhone?

This can be accomplished pretty easily just using an Eye-Fi SD card (a standard SD card with a built in wi-fi transmitter) and the corresponding Eye-Fi app on your iPhone. The app connects to the card via an ad-hoc network allowing the photos to be transferred.
Eye-Fi cards start around €20 and the app is free on the App Store.
More information on the process can be found here.

Yes. The main solution mentioned is an Eye‑Fi SD card, which is a memory card with built-in Wi‑Fi. With the Eye‑Fi app on the iPhone, the card can transfer photos directly to the phone using its direct/ad-hoc wireless mode, so you can then edit and share the JPEGs without a computer.
If you already have an iPad, another option is to import the photos there using Apple’s Camera Connection Kit, then use your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot to get the iPad online for emailing or posting. But for direct DSLR-to-iPhone transfer, the Eye‑Fi approach is the simplest option described.
