That wouldn't be an SMR, as an SMR requires an output of at least 20 MW, which is significantly higher than any thing a single household would need.
A backyard reactor would be a Microreacter rather than an SMR. Though personally I think a single neighborhood/ward SMR might be better suited, even then, I think an actual Power Plant for a metropolitan area would be superior on fuel use per household powered.
