I do not know if it does what you want, but with the latest change (it's
probably not yet in melpa), the following, which is quite similar to
your vim code, should work.

  (define-key evil-visual-state-map "J" ":m '>+1^Mgv=gv")
  (define-key evil-visual-state-map "K" ":m '<-2^Mgv=gv")

Note that ^M is a literal RET character. It can be entered in Evil by
C-v C-m. Alternatively you can use

  (define-key evil-visual-state-map "J"
    (concat ":m '>+1" (kbd "RET") "gv=gv"))
  (define-key evil-visual-state-map "K"
    (concat ":m '<-2" (kbd "RET") "gv=gv"))
