An interesting problem! But it doesn't seem like a schema problem. Where are you doing table layout? Do you need to preserve any of the original table structure in the svg, or do you just need a nice rendering of the table? If your svg viewer will display embedded HTML tables, that would be an easy way. If you want high-quality typeset tables, then putting the tables into xsl-fo seems like a good first step. The DITA Open Toolkit (dita-ot.org) could help with that, if you don't have another favorite DITA processor or don't want to write your own xslt for it. I don't know of an xslfo2svg engine, but I don't keep up with that area. If I were looking for open-source components to put together a toolchain for this I would consider xml -> xslt -> xslfo -> LaTeX -> svg. This could potentially give very good table renditions, but probably would not preserve any of the original table structure in the svg. If that is a requirement, another approach is wanted. If javascript is an option, d3 (d3js.org) is worth looking at, but teaching it to understand DITA (in full generality) might be challenging.
