After spending hours looking into similar issues I still haven't found a solution that works. I have some SVGs that are rendering fine normally, but when they're placed in the <nav> parts are cut off. I have noticed that the issue seems to occur only when multiple SVG icons are used in the nav. So if, for example, I remove the first <li> item in its entirety the remaining SVGs seem to not have the problem of being cut off.
I've set up a codepen here with the same code below: https://codepen.io/lsg-alex/pen/oNgVLbq

I tried adjusting the viewBox settings, height/width on the SVGs themselves as well as through CSS, setting overflow to visible, using a .svg inside an tag, etc. but none of these seem to have any impact. When I pull one of the SVGs that's cut off outside of the nav and paste the code above it, for example, it renders properly.
I can't help but feel like there's something obvious here I'm overlooking, and any help would be really appreciated.
This line is your culprit, remove them (or at least this first one since it's the one effecting the ones below it) and voila;
<clipPath id="clip-path">
<rect class="cls-1" width="12.1" height="18.1"></rect>
</clipPath>
Then to keep it clean, remove the references to it in the CSS such as;
clip-path: url(#clip-path);
I'm going to assume these were generated with something and you didn't intend on needing a specified clip-path anyway.
Cheers!
I want to put text on top of my polygons. unfortunately the text goes behind the shape is there anything similar to the css z index?
here is part of the svg in my html (its a lot of code because im drawing a map so here is only a little part of it.) Although below they all have the same coords, I did originally place them over the shape using the inspector in chrome, however the shapes remained above the text.
<svg width="400" height="800" viewBox="0 0 400 800" id="svg-doc">

According to this site: http://alignedleft.com/tutorials/d3/an-svg-primer/
The order in which elements are coded determines their depth order.
In fact, the problem seems to be that all of your text is in the same place, at (0,15) - not underneath the polygons at all?
I edited the code from the question to move the text over the polygons, it is displayed correctly...
