To any BY-SA licenced work, yes.

See thread title. ;-)

In the former, the contents of the SVG file would be a database and 
would be a Covered Database under the ODbL. In the latter it would be a 
piece of cartography or graphic design and so would be a Produced Work 
under the ODbL.

The ODbL can tell the difference.

It does not. The latter describes how you distribute a Produced Work, 
the former describes how you distribute a Covered Database.
