Yes, just add "font-variant: small-caps;"

Or are small caps not supported by the default fonts in the epub reading devices?
It's not "or" but "and"

You can add small caps, but it will most likely not work. Most fonts do not have real small caps, but the renderer in e.g. web browsers can fake the small caps, not perfect but usually good enough. The bad news is that Adobe-based renderers (i.e. most dedicated ebook readers) simply ignores font-variant, no real small caps, no fake small caps, nothing.
