I guess it may be that your openssl version is too low. At present, only 
openssl 3.0.0 (still in the alpha stage and not yet officially released) 
can support the certificate of the SM2-with-SM3 algorithm combination.

This is the command I used in openssl-3.0.0-alpha6:

openssl ecparam -genkey -name SM2 -text -out ca.key
openssl req -new \
     -x509 -days 3650 \
     -sm3 -sigopt "distid:1234567812345678" \
     -key ca.key \
     -out ca.crt \
     -subj "/C=CN/ST=GS/L=Gt/O=baba/OU=OS/CN=ca/emailAddress=ca@world.com"
