There is no "math subset" of TeX. You would have to define it. Or include a full TeX engine including macro capabilities into web browsers.

It wouldn't be that hard to define a "maths subset". The fact that there are javascript LaTeX equation renderers clearly means other people have done it. Here's an example:

You just need to standardise it. There's no need to include all of LaTeX in a standard that is just for rendering equations.
