yes buddy !!!!
Having technical knowledge in SEO/SEM field is very important. It's good that you are very well aware with HTML basics but its not sufficient. Besides the SEO/SEM technical terms one should also know how to apply these techniques in SEO/SEM field.

And about knowing the web desining, it's not necessary to know. B'coz it hasn't any role in SEO/SEM field.

By technical knowledge, if you mean knowledge of HTML, programming, site accessibility and copywriting skills, then yes.

SEO/SEM is not just about link-building, but also about creating an effective seo-worthy web site and copy.

Yes it is important to know technical terms...especially in on-page optimization...Your knowledge in HTML is an edge but learning far beyond what you have is much better...
