    I figured out a way which worked for me and hopefully it will work for you guys too.

    1. First, duplicate the layer so that you have an extra copy just in case things go wrong and you want to re-edit the clipping group. Lock it and hide it.

    2. Select the relevant clipping group.

    3. Use the 'Divide' pathfinder tool (Window > Pathfinder > Divide)

    4. Click somewhere on the illustrator Artboard and you should see that the image in the thumbnail gets bigger meaning that the hidden elements were taken out of the equation.

    5. Make sure all irrelevant layers are hidden before you export.

    I hope this helps.
