It would just be acting as a storage and communications media. The passwords would be stored on the card and retrieved using one of the communications methods used or being developed. Such as some RFID that could read the data without need for physical contact.

If someone steals/you lose your smart card, what stops another person from stealing your identity, including accessing your computer? It seems that this would be less secure, rather than more. On the convenience/lazy side, it would seem ok, but overall, security included, it doesn't seem very...smart.

Since human interaction is not needed (having to remember and key in your PW), the internal security can be higher. Intercepting PW's by watching or listening in or key stroke capture or ... with manual human interaction systems is far easier. But yes it would still be possible to crack a Smart Card.
