A form-fit alternative with matched voltage and capacitance, but is a major performance downgrade in ESR and ripple current.
Finding a substitute for the AISHI SVZ1HM221GCRE00RAXXX, a 220µF 50V polymer capacitor, requires careful attention to ESR and ripple current. While several standard electrolytic capacitors match in size, their performance is significantly lower.
Candidate ESR and ripple current are much worse than the target polymer capacitor.
Several candidates have a compatible PCB footprint.
No direct drop-in replacement has been identified. All candidates are standard electrolytic types and represent a significant performance downgrade from the target polymer capacitor.
Search for other 220µF, 50V polymer capacitors in a 10mm diameter package with ESR below 50mΩ.
The primary risk is the much higher ESR and lower ripple current of standard electrolytic capacitors, which can cause overheating or circuit malfunction in applications designed for polymer caps.

The best alternative would be another conductive polymer aluminum capacitor with 220µF capacitance, a 50V or higher voltage rating, ESR under 50mΩ, and a 10mm diameter SMD package. Standard electrolytic capacitors are not recommended.
