There are several ways to create HTML from LaTeX:

TeX4HT: To add alternate text for images:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/44009/tex4ht-alt-text-for-images-of-equations
TeX4HT also can generate MathJax for math.

LaTeXML: Adds the LaTeX source as alt text to its MathML output, and has
some provision for alt text for images.  Also can generate MathJax.

Lwarp: A LaTeX package which can add alternate text for images and links.
Adds an 'alt' key for \includegraphics.  SVG images of math include the
LaTeX source as alt text.  Responds to the use of the LaTeX packages
'accessibility' and 'tagpdf', creating HTML alt tags for each.  Lwarp also
has support for more than 500 LaTeX packages, and almost a hundred also
support MathJax.  The next version of Lwarp will also include ARIA tags for
math and foot/end/margin notes, which may help with navigation.
