Since the convex subsets of $mathbb R$ are intervals, $f$ should thus map every interval $I subseteq [0, 1]$ to a convex subset of $[0, 1]^2$.

Partial answer: Here is a discontinuous surjective function $f:[0,1]rightarrow[0,1]^2$ that maps convex sets to convex sets. We can make sure every interval maps to the entire (convex) set $[0,1]^2$.
Let's say that two real numbers are in the same equivalence class if their unique decimal expansion (with no infinite tail of 9s) differs only in a finite number of digits. For example $0=0.0000...$, $1=1.0000...$, $1/2=0.50000...$ are all in the same equivalence class.
Let $A$ be the set of all equivalence classes. The cardinality of $A$ is the same as that of the reals, which is the same as that of $[0,1]^2$. So there is a surjective function $g:Arightarrow [0,1]^2$. For each $xin[0,1]$ let $a(x) in A$ denote its equivalence class. Define $f:[0,1]rightarrow[0,1]^2$ by
$$ f(x) = g(a(x))$$
Let $Isubseteq[0,1]$ be an interval (containing more than one point). Then $I$ contains points from all equivalence classes in $A$, so $f(I)=[0,1]^2$.
All convex subsets $C subseteq [0,1]$ that contain at least two distinct points must contain the interval between those points, so $f(C)=[0,1]^2$. And of course all single-point sets map to single-point sets.
Note: I originally overlooked the continuity requirement, as zhw notes below. So I have edited to emphasize that.

Let $A$ be the set of all equivalence classes. The cardinality of $A$ is the same as that of the reals, which is the same as that of $[0,1]^2$. So there is a surjective function $g:Arightarrow [0,1]^2$. For each $xin[0,1]$ let $a(x) in A$ denote its equivalence class. Define $f:[0,1]rightarrow[0,1]^2$ by
$$ f(x) = g(a(x))$$
Let $Isubseteq[0,1]$ be an interval (containing more than one point). Then $I$ contains points from all equivalence classes in $A$, so $f(I)=[0,1]^2$.
All convex subsets $C subseteq [0,1]$ that contain at least two distinct points must contain the interval between those points, so $f(C)=[0,1]^2$. And of course all single-point sets map to single-point sets.
