Each of the state/pharmacy chain issued digital card can be saved as a PDF or imported in CommonHealth app or the state's own app. I have no idea if California requires vaccine proof for anything but it should be able to verify a Smart Health card.

For international travel you probably need a CDC card just to be safe. Maybe go back to the site where you got your shots and they will issue a replacement card?
I was able to get the Excelsior Pass Plus along with the original Excelsior Pass. That, combined with Epic/MyChart records, should get me basically anywhere within the US. I guess the issue is international travel, where people seem to rely on the CDC card. NY State is claiming they don’t fill out replacements, but I will just show up at my original vaccination site and ask for a new one, should be pretty easy to get I guess…
