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 in the online sense comes from social, meaning people connecting, and activity, meaning things you do; imagine posting, commenting, and liking on a site, like waving or talking across the internet. So it now means the amount or pattern of someone's 'activity on social media'.
