OpenSC targets smart cards, not smart card readers. So to use your smart card, you need a working smart card reader first.
OpenSC is supposed to work with any supported smart card (see SupportedHardware for a list) if you have a driver for your card reader or USB token. If you’re unsure, you need a PC/SC driver, which 99.9% of vendors provide for at least Windows platform. CT-API drivers are also supported (only if required and a driver is available from reader vendor, CT-API is a deprecated interface) and OpenCT (on Linux/BSD, if the reader or token does not work with pcsc-lite).

USB
Most common connector type for smart card readers is USB. Microsoft remote desktop mac this host provides no.
CCID
Almost all recent USB smart card readers follow the CCID specification. But not all. For USB dongles, a driver is needed for the USB connection if the token uses a proprietary protocol.
For a list of CCID smart card readers supported by libccid see https://ccid.apdu.fr/ccid/section.html. If you are planning to buy a smart card reader, be sure to check for CCID compliance (and extended APDU support if you want to be somewhat future-proof)
Some readers claim “CCID compatible” in marketing material but are not compliant (don’t work with operating system provided CCID drivers) in real life. Readers known to do this are:
