Why do you think that XML`SVG`GraphicsToSymbolicSVG does not work
anymore? I just tried it (using the full name with all contexts and
without loading any package) with 8.0.1 on Windows and it worked alright:

XML`SVG`GraphicsToSymbolicSVG[Plot[x^4, {x, 0, 1}]]

Alternatively, you could also use something like this, which would not
rely on undocumented features:

ImportString[ExportString[Plot[x^4, {x, 0, 1}], "SVG"], "XML"]

I have no suggestions for other formats or techniques to create web
grahpics formats, but it might be worthwhile to explore since I found
the above to be relatively slow even for simple plots...
