By default svtplay-dl will download the video with highest bitrate. it could be the 4k video one.
In case you down want that you can use this feature like this:
--resolution "<720" will download videos with a resolution less than 720p for example 480p
--resolution ">=1080 will download videos that is 1080p or bigger.
I recommend adding this to your config so you dont have to specify it all the time
