It should be in the next release, which is due soon, with the
customization variable HTML_MATH.

I have not tested, but my guess is that with MathJax, only local
definitions are taken into account.  With latex2html my guess is that
\def is not ok.  With tex4ht it should work, but only in @tex blocks,
not in @math and @displaymath which go to different files than @tex
blocks before going through tex4ht.

If you have an example, I could test with the development version.

It would be relatively easy to fix the tex4ht case, though, by putting
every command in one file.  The release is too near to do that kind of
changes now, but I could make that change after the release.
