Try this:
* Export table from src-block
#+name: mytable
| a | b |
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(save-excursion
(org-open-link-from-string "[[mytable]]")
(while (not (org-table-p)) (forward-line))
(org-table-export "mytable.csv" "orgtbl-to-csv"))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: Export done.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
cat mytable.csv
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: a,b
: 1,2
: 3,4
