I am not sure how far the IETF will go here. I do see this work equal
to the concept of we open a new WG for a specific MIB. This case the
SMART-CARD-MIB.

A personally, see a bigger need for mappings of managed
objects defined for SNMP (as MIBs) and Device Management of OMA.
I already have seen some questions on a SyncML malinglist
regarding the 'standardization' of managed objects for Device
Managment in the OMA perspective. I guess the IETF could assist
there by specifying something similar as we use for managed objects
of MIB modules, standardized objects and vendor specific ones
(where each vendor has a branch).
I started some time ago an internet-draft for this, but due to
lack of time I did not finish it yet to a decent state of
publication.

The way to get access to the managed objects I see more as
specific for the environment.

Concerning the Smart Card functionalities, it was agreed to have a new work item dealing with them. The main Smart Card functionalities to be covered by this WI are (but not limited to):
