That's probably what the client does to "fake" smallcaps when there is not a true smallcaps font available (and I'd say most wouldn't know when there is). The difference is:
Smallcaps:
SMALLCAPS!
Uppercase+small:
SMALLCAPS!
(note the S and ! sizes) Unless you do what I did here and apply different styles to different parts of the words. (By the way, I've seen not all browsers know to treat punctuation correctly with smallcaps.)
But... as I said, "font-variant: smallcaps" is at least recognized in the ePUB spec, whereas "text-transform: uppercase" isn't.
