Alt-right and SJW are similar in that both are used as a means of dismissal/derision by the user.

The difference is that SJW was born out of that intent, whereas Alt-right was coined by those who identified with it originally.

While both CAN be used as a pejorative, as you pointed out Caramon, SJW is the only term of the two used exclusively as such. So yes, SJW is more an intentional slur than Alt-right, by far.
