You can simply use different separation markers, for instance #:

git branch -r | grep branch | sed 's#svn-origin/##'

Now sed will replace svn-origin/ with the empty string. sed reads the s command, and the next character it considers to be the separator. So in case you want to use / (or any other character in your expressions), simply use a different separator.

If you want to remove the leading spaces as well, you can use:

git branch -r | grep branch | sed 's#^\s*svn-origin/##'

So with \s* to remove the spaces and ^ as anchor point (^ is not required).

git branch -r |awk -F'/' '/branch/{print $NF}'

OR 

git branch -r |grep branch|sed -r 's|(^.*/)(.*)|\2|'
