I tend to think of plotters as very old technology. What software would one use nowadays to feed SVG to a plotter?

They still exist, but more as a maker hobby and/or art device than as a 'big printer' like those used for stuff like cartography in the past. A big advantage of plotters is they don't have to carry a pen, but can also (laser) cut or burn stuff. There are multiple tools for converting SVG to the gcode plotter language.
