I made my sd card available as mass storage, copied one file from sd card, unmounted the card from OSX (inside OSX) and then .. I am not 100% if I unmouted the card in mobile or it was already damaged at this point.

I tried to reboot the phone but it doesn't help. Removed the card, put back and turned on again. Didn't help either.

Do I have to reformat the card and loose all data on it?

HTC Desire + CM 7 RC2 + Kingston 16GB Type 4

You can try to recover files before you format it, but yes you will have to format it. See this question for various methods of SD card recovery: Data Recovery - How to Restore Deleted / Formatted Files on HD Micro SD Card

If you have a card reader, try fsck-ing it. I'm not sure if it is possible do an fsck through Android, though if you don't have a card reader, you might want to try that.
