Once the drawing has gone to pixels the vector nature is
essentially totally lost. However if you are using Java for your
application, Batik has something called the SVGGraphics2D which is
an implementation of the Java Drawing interface that will capture
the drawing commands as vectors. So when you call drawRect it
generates a rect element instead of drawing to the screen. When
call drawString it creates a text element, etc.
So if you have a Java Swing application you could use this
to draw your various Java components (menu's etc) to the
SVGGraphics2D and get fairly high quality SVG out.

This us the best you can do for the most part once you have
pixels instead of drawing primitives.
