font-variant: small-caps will not work on most Readers or programs in use for displaying ePub as ADE/RMDSK is the most widely used and small-caps is not supported. So using it even though it's not supported is a bad idea.

There are two options. One is to embed a base font and a small caps font to go with it. The other is to use something like...

Code:

.smallcaps {
font-size: .75em
}

That will simulate smallcaps. You just S<span class="smallcaps">MALLCAPS</span>
