There won''t be an $E/\mathbb Q$ with CM by an order $R$ in $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-D})$ unless $R$ has class number 1, and there are only finitely many such orders. There is a complete list of the corresponding elliptic curves (probably already since the 19th century, modulo the problem that they didn't know the non-existence of a 10th field of class number 1). The isogenies won't be defined over $\mathbb Q$, but certainly one can write them down, fairly easily for the smaller values of $D$. I'm not sureAlthough I don't think I've seen them written out for the larger values such as $\frac12(1+\sqrt{-163})$ isogeny written down explicitly.

Equations for elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q$ that have CM are listed in [1, Appendix A, Section 2]. If you want to see how one can explicitly find curves and equations for the isogenies $\sqrt{-2}$ and $\frac12(1+\sqrt{-7})$, see [1, Chapter II, Section 2], and in particular Proposition II.2.3.1.
