Not going to happen.
The Wii cannot play GC games with the Classic controller, when you boot up a GameCube game the WIi essentially "turns into" a GameCube.... which is why from then on you can no longer get back to the Wii menu, pressing reset just resets the game and the only way to get back to "Wii mode" is to turn it off at the console power button (the remote one doesn't work)
As for GC games on SD card, way too much space to take up, and as far as I know the recent update letting VC/Wiiware boot directly from SD would not work for big GameCube games.
It also would not save any decent amount of space either... there really isn't much space it's possible to save in the Wii, so size-wise it probably wont be changed whatever they do to the innards.
