There are two options in Chrome when it comes to smartcard communication:

  1. Native messaging
    You can take a look at chrome-token-signing project for a real-world example.
  2. Local application with WebSocket server
    Browser communicates via the WebSocket with the locally installed application/server that can access connected smartcard.
