Here you go http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/SVGA.html

Or, if you're too lazy

Short for Super VGA, a set of graphics standards designed to offer greater resolution than VGA. SVGA supports 800 x 600 resolution, or 480,000 pixels.

The SVGA standard supports a palette of 16 million colors, but the number of colors that can be displayed simultaneously is limited by the amount of video memory installed in a system. One SVGA system might display only 256 simultaneous colors while another displays the entire palette of 16 million colors. The SVGA standards are developed by a consortium of monitor and graphics manufacturers called VESA.

Super Video Graphics Array. A resolution of at least 800x600. It isnt a "graphics card" although all modern graphics cards are svga compatible. Its a display mode.
