SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics, a [[XML]] based format) is not supported natively by ConTeXt. If you need a supported vactor graphics format, try [[MetaPost]] (and [[MetaFun]]).
There is a workaround, though, using InkScape to convert SVG to PDF. Inkscape must be installed and callable (i.e. in your PATH):
<texcode>
\usemodule[res-08] \setups[rl:manipulate]
\setupexternalfigures[location=local,directory=.,conversion=pdf] %
lowres,prefix=lowres/]
\starttext
\externalfigure[svg/sample.svg][frame=on]
\stoptext
</texcode>
