Gimp will import a svg file but Gimp is strictly bitmap and does not export an svg image.
There is a plugin using autotrace for Gimp 2.10 that works, but the updated Gimp 3 version is Windows only.
see: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21642
If you are using linux, and have autotrace installed then just as easy to export an image from Gimp and run autotrace in a terminal.
Using linux there are drag - n - drop possibilities using Inkscape (at least there are here with kubuntu)

With both Gimp and Inkscape open - Drag a layer into inkscape - Trace the image - copy that and paste back into the Gimp path dock.
For an actual svg image, then export that from Inkscape.
Even Gimp is not an svg editor, there are several filters in GMIC that makes it easier to vectorize your image later. Vector painting, vivid Edges, Mighty Details, Ink Wash, are some could help.
