SVG file exported from Illustrator has jagged edges

When I save an artboartd as an SVG file it usually looks fine. Sometimes, however, when I save an SVG file the outlines become jagged and I cannot work out why. There are no effects, strokes, open paths etc. they are just straightforward shapes with 100% transparency. I have attached screenshots to show what it looks like on Illustrator and how it appears when it's been saved as an SVG file.

Making it larger will work as well.

The Decimals setting is in the SVG options. They are in different places in the export dialogs, so I would suggest:

Probably the Decimals setting is too low.

Thanks for the response. How do I increase the decimals setting?

Edit: I just tried making the logo much larger in illustrator before exporting and this has worked, it is no longer jagged. Thanks for your help.
