Early career
Plavšić played in FK Vojvodina's youth system, but was told that he was too small to make it for Vojvodina's first team. He began playing football on a senior level with ČSK Čelarevo in the lower tiers of the Serbian football pyramid. He played in Čelarevo for two seasons before moving to Spartak from Subotica. It was in Spartak where Plavšić made his debut in the Serbian top flight for the 2014-15 season, and he played impressively particularly in a match against Red Star Belgrade.
Red Star Belgrade
On August 10, 2015, Plavšić signed a three-year contract with Red Star Belgrade. In his promotion the following day, he chose the number 17 for his jersey. At Red Star, he got the nickname "Atomic Ant", due to his height of 166 centimeters, which at the time was the shortest among all of Red Star's players. In the first half of the 2015-16 season, Plavšić was statistically Red Star's most fouled player, as other teams' players would routinely accumulate yellow cards from tackling him.
International Career
Plavšić made his international debut for the Serbia national football team in a friendly 3-0 loss to Qatar. He also received a call for a friendly match against United States, on 29 January 2017.
Personal life
Plavšić's father Petar, also born in Novi Sad, was a professional futsal player during his youth. Srđan has credited his father for teaching him many of the tricks he plays in matches. Srđan's paternal grandfather is from Šipovo.
