That would depend on the site.

Are you sure that neither the site nor your computer has been compromised?

If so, it is probably as safe as handing your card to the girl at the
restaurant checkout.
Meaning it isn't safe but it is not any more dangerous than driving to
work.

In other words, I put my credit card number into web sites that I trust.

The compromise is more likely to be on your computer or the site than on
the network along the way, but anything can happen.
