Probably the best verse to fill in our understanding of what "visiting orphans in their affliction" involves is found in the Old Testament. The Greek translation of Exodus 4:31 uses the same Greek words for "visit" and "affliction" that James uses for those two words.
"And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshipped."
The word for "visit" in James 1:27 means "to look after, care for." It is not optional for individuals in the church to care for orphans and widows. Individually, not just corporately.
