Why do you need a second card?
I used to carry one card in my wallet for business use and then use my mobile phone for personal travel. Then I would print a record of trips I made using the "business card" in my wallet and make an expense claim. Since I no longer have a Japanese mobile phone, I just use one card, print the journeys and cross out the personal trips.
It's not a good idea to keep two SUICA cards in the same purse. You won't be double-charged, but the barrier will shut and you'll hold up the human traffic trying to go through the gate.
