Morphology
The meaning is compositionally derived: 'social' modifies 'activity', so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer it refers to activities relating to social contexts. Although the given definition narrows the domain to social media engagement, the core sense (actions related to social interaction) is directly predictable from the constituents.
Etymology
Social activity comes from social, meaning people together, and activity, meaning something you do; imagine a dinner or club where people meet, talk, and share. That's why it means an activity you do with others or 'to meet and talk'.
