What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Overwriting of SD cards (during emulation) cause issues over periods of time when it comes to the stability/integrity of sd cards (both on console and on dolphin) for both offline, and online/netplay. When emulation starts, dolphin will continue to modify the SD card no matter the circumstance. Normally on a wii, you cannot have the sd card set to read only, but when you force a read only state in dolphin (as seen in build 4.0-7490) where the sd card does not become modified.
With 4.0-7490, they added the the functionality of blocking of modifying the sd cards on the netplay branch/window, but if the game were played offline, just once, the sd card becomes modified and will instantly desync when used for netplay.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?
4.0-7490 and later
Is there any other relevant information? Screenshots? Logs? Fifologs?
I am proposing something of this magnitude: http://prntscr.com/8haee8
A simple toggle that will allow a read only state on the sd card that covers both offline and online sd card states. This will prevent writing to the sd card during the emulation, preserving the sd card to its original state at the end of any emulation.
