Same issue effects the ability to upload an SVG as the themes Logo image.

Noting that SVG is basically an XML/text file. As such, Drupal core (GD really) fails to apply image styles to SVG files, so doesn't produce thumbnails for the media library etc. So although it may not make sense from a non-technical point of view, the proper way to handle this would be to configure the file/document media type to allow .svg extensions - NOT the image media type.

In the case of the site logo, it would need to be implemented directly on the theme level (i.e. not via the site settings form - as that form only allow actual image files to be uploaded).

More relevant Drupal core issues:

• Media Library widget does not render svg images
• Svg images does not render when applying image style

For better SVG support, PaaS customers may install contrib modules such as:

• https://www.drupal.org/project/svg_image
• https://www.drupal.org/project/svg_image_field
• https://www.drupal.org/project/svg_formatter

SaaS customers would need to convince us that there is demand for this feature (we've only received 2-3 requests over the last 3 years in the GovCMS Service Desk), and they'd need to raise a feature request with the GovCMS 9 distro: https://github.com/govCMS/GovCMS/issues (noting that no new modules/features are being considered to be added till all sites in the GovCMS platform have moved from GovCMS 8 to 9).
