Umm...This isn't really my area of expertise, but I'll try giving it a shot. I believe not all storage devices work with 3DS. For example, an R4DS is not compatible with a 3DS because the R4DS has been discontinued. However, a new product like R4i 3DS should have a newer firmware allowing to be used on a 3DS.

It's a tricky thing because Nintendo releases new firmware for DS users and 3DS users that make it impossible for people with storage devices to use them on their systems. So the makers of the product usually have to scramble to release a new firmware for their devices or produce new devices all together.

Like I said before, I'm not an expert on this. The best suggestion I can make is to see if your R4 has a newer firmware you could download, or if all options fail, you may have to get a new storage device.
