That's up to the device/reading app.

When you say "the same size as the small caps" I guess you mean the size "font-variant: small-caps" is rendered in some particular reader/browser. That's, however, far from standard as well. Most readers readers just ignore "font-variant: small-caps" anyway, so I doubt they are "too small", the only problem is they are not caps at all

The easiest is to use <small> and to set

small { font-size: 85%; }

or whatever in the CSS.
