In short there are very few free animation tools per se. Synfig has only basic importing of SVG, not exporting, plus its has a rather different document model which makes it difficult to implement SVG animation in the output, as far as I can tell. The only other really alive project is Tupi, a fork of seemingly abandoned KToon. It doesn't do SVG animation either and I don't remember ever reading that as a goal in the project's TODO. Synfig is a small team that has more pressing things to do. Tupi is a one-man band. AFAIK, both projects are more interested in feature film animation than Web.
