This means that I should consider fx-9750gII and fx-9860gII part of the same series? Was not the second with SD card?

Yes, and no. This table of Casio calculators (not quite current any more) might explain things a little better:

• fx-7400gII, really light on features. I haven't seen it here.
• fx-9750gII, sold at a cheaper pricepoint ($149) than the fx-9860gII. This is the only one I can find here where I live.
• fx-9860gII, additional features, and a backlight.
• fx-9860gII SD, the same additional features, a backlight and SD card slot.
• ... Others that I haven't included, as they're not part of the discussion.
  

I have the fx-9750gII, which can be flashed with the firmware from the bigger brother fx-9860gII, turning it into a fx-9860gII as far as firmware is concerned, only missing the hardware feature of a backlight. It still looks exactly like a fx-9750gII externally.

To make things even more confusing, the 9750gII and the 9860gII came out in two different revisions (and several colour choices), depending upon what SuperH processor was on their respective motherboards. The earlier revisions of both still had the SH-3, but the upgraded revisions of both include the SH-4A processor and can do stuff faster.

At least HP appears to be somewhat consistent.
