forval i = 1001/1014 { 
	replace svi`i' = . if inrange(svi`i', -90005,-90001) 
} 

or 

mvdecode svi1001-svi1014, mv(-90005/-90001) 

The first makes an assumption that only integers are 
observed. You can add 

& (svi`i' == floor(svi`i')) 

to ignore non-integers. 

The second makes an assumption that your variables
svi* are in order in memory.
