I'm working on a responsive design and I'm thinking of creating navigation icons as .svg files. What is current browser support like and is there a workaround/plugin for older browser versions?

All modern web browsers support viewing SVG files. That includes Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. So if you have an SVG and can't open it with anything else, open your favorite browser, select File > Open, then choose the SVG file you'd like to see. It will appear in your browser window.
Chrome was the first browser to launch with native SVG support from the beginming.
SVG is an image format for vector graphics. It literally means Scalable Vector Graphics. Basically, what you work with in Adobe Illustrator. You can use SVG on the web pretty easily, but there is plenty you should know.
All major browsers have had support for years except <= IE8. Workaround could be for instance RaphaelJS.
