You need a router to route traffic between VLANs.
According to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/small-business-smart-switches/data_sheet_c78-610061.html "Features include:
◦    Static routing/Layer 3 switching between VLANs: This capability allows you to segment your network into separate workgroups and communicate across VLANs without degrading application performance. As a result, you can manage internal routing with your switches and dedicate your router to external traffic and security, helping your network run more efficiently."

So that means you should be able to configure the switch to that routing for you.  According to https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sf30x_sg30x/administration_guide/78-19308-01.pdf the switch needs to be in Layer 3 system mode to handle the routing. Administration >
System Setting.  Section 17 in that doc explains how to configure interfaces and routes.
