SVG support in Konqueror is problematic:

https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/test-svg-format-browser-engines/
Konqueror is a default browser for KDE, one of the most popular Linux
desktop environments. The ability to render SVG files in Konqueror
depends on the rendering engine. With WebKit enabled our testing SVG
was rendered correctly. However, Konqueror’s default rendering engine,
KHTML, appears to be lacking support of several features: filter
effects are not applied to underlying object and stroke end markers,
and text along path or pattern objects aren’t rendered at all.

So you will need to figure out how to turn on WebKit which may not
have been compiled in for that version. Rex Dieter had a copr with
more modern versions of KDE for EL7 here:
