I had a network card delivered, and found my daughter's strong magnet
sticking to the outside of the jiffy bag. Will the card be knackered? I know
strong magnets and electronics don't mix very happily...is there software on
the card that'll now be scrambled?

Any advice appreciated.

It should be fine , and even if it isn't it won't harm your PC trying it
