Well you can try to continue on your path, but it can get `interesting'.

An alternative is to do something like this:

Define an export backend that derives from 'html. 

Flesh out the function `org-tikz-html-export-block' to process the content of `tikz' export blocks to render the derived SVG. Use existing functions in `ox-latex.el' as helpers if that works.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (org-export-define-derived-backend 'tikz-html 'html
    :translate-alist '((export-block . org-tikz-html-export-block)))

  (defun org-tikz-html-export-block (export-block contents info)
    "Transcoder to TikZ in html exports."
    (when (string= (org-element-property :type export-block) "TIKZ")
      (let ((tikz-code 
	     (org-remove-indentation
	      (org-element-property :value export-block))))
	;; process TikZ code to SVG
	;; produce a suitable link to include the SVG as the result
	)))
#+end_src


Then blocks like

#+begin_export tikz
% tikz code goes here
#+end_export

should render when you run

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (org-export-to-file 'tikz-html "file-name.html") 
#+end_src 

You might adapt `org-html-export-to-html' if the features it offers are needed and add a :menu-entry to enable running from the export dispatcher under the html choices.

HTH,

Chuck
