I see the same behavior on my Mac. Illustrator doesn't always interpret SVGs perfectly. SVG files are a coded file and Illustrator doesn't seem to support the way that XD is coding the shadow. The SVG should be fine for use in a webpage though.

I am encountering this issue when exporting artboards to PDF. It used to be that the shadows would export (but at poor quality), but now it just not longer exports at all. I am running Adobe XD v24.4.22.1 on macOS Mojave (10.14.6).

I have the same problem with very simple shapes- a gray square box with a plus sign. The square has a drop shadow for hover and the white plus sign centered inside the square gray box has a small drop shadow as well. It looks correct when exported to Zeplin but the SVG download from Zeplin, when opened in Illustrator, does not render at all. This is happening site-wide. The developers are telling me I can't add a dropshadow within a vector shape. That is an extreme blocker for design. Any suggestions? I've abandoned many other effects that render terribly in SVG export, including Adobe Stock .ai files I've placed. Anything with a drop shadow and/or filter are not usable. Could really use some help with this. 
I'm working in Adobe Cloud on an iMac, OS High Siera, 10.13.3 and up to date on apps.
