Sorry, I thought the by-backend function was 'common wisdom' by now.
It's been proposed by Eric Schulte and there has been a short discussion
about including it in org proper. Here it is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defmacro by-backend (&rest body)
`(case (if (boundp 'backend) (org-export-backend-name backend) nil) ,@body))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And I forgot to add: For the SVG export in html you might need to set
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-babel-latex-htlatex "htlatex")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I agree. Especially if that setup should be applied to every figure in
the document, the header repetitions are tedious. I do not have a
solution, I am afraid.

I'd love to see that, too.
Best,
