This is normal. Any packets that are hardware switched (both L2 and L3) will not increment the counters on the SVI interface.
However there is command you can add under the SVI interfaces on the 4500 - "counter" which then adds counters to the SVI. See this thread for details -

note in that thread Chad says there is no performance penalty by using this command. There is no reason to suspect he is wrong but as i have never used the command i personally can't guarantee it.
For switches that don't support this command the usual way to see how much traffic there is to look at the physical interfaces.
