Perhaps one of these:

method 1, without external conversion. Load the LaTeX package in markdown, 
insert the raw LaTeX command:

``` markdown
---
header-includes:
    ``` {=latex}
    \usepackage{svg}
   ```
---

See illustration below:

\includesvg[scale=1.0]{idea.svg}
```

Downside: the image only shows in LaTeX/PDF output. You could use a filter 
that allows you to hide/show bits depending on output formats, but then you 
might as well use Bastien's filter.

method 2, external conversion: as you've done, but you should use the 
standalone document class (assuming it doesn't conflict with the svg 
package. It crops documents to the size of the image. See 
https://ctan.org/pkg/standalone
