Remove whitespace from SVG
Someone created a jsfiddle with a script that trims the svg for you which you can find here.
Here's the script if you need to use it in your project:
var svg = document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0];
var bbox = svg.getBBox();
var viewBox = [bbox.x, bbox.y, bbox.width, bbox.height].join(" ");
svg.setAttribute("viewBox", viewBox);
prompt("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter", svg.outerHTML);
Additionally, @user2415116 linked another website that achieves similar results: svgcrop.com
Adjust the viewBox so that it just covers the area you want. I've done most of it below, you could tighten if further if you need to.

inkscape --export-plain-svg --export-filename="your path to the edited svg" --export-area-drawing "path to the svg with whitspace"
Use this in conjunction with a shell script if you have many SVGs.
