I don't know about SVG, but the org.eclipse.swt.graphics.ImageLoader can be used to save a org.eclipse.swt.graphics.GC in various formats like PNG, GIF, JPEG and BMP. You can convert the result to SVG if you'd like.

You can find examples of how to save a GC to a file (like this one). You can also copy an existing GC using the copyArea method. Take a look at this source code. Look for the usage of gc.copyArea method and you'll find a example of how to take such a snapshot.
