I think there are a couple of reasons for this: 1) SVG is a minority medium at the moment, and assistive technology vendors generally concentrate on attacking those features in real life web page that cause accessibility problems - this means that they don't necessarily support accessibility features in HTML well, either, because authors don't use them; 2) even more than HTML, SVG authors tend to produce WYSIWYG documents, leaving the AT with no sensible way of getting useful information from real life documents.
