The latter.
Small press = low volume publishing houses. Lately it also includes digital first and even digital only.
A lot of them are actually new startups rather than remnants of the old days. And many don't actually own presses, they just contract small lots to China companies. Which is also a path for author/publishers with enough of a following to go beyond current POD.
