Wrapping the small cap text in either
<small></small> tags or styling a
<span>, <p> or <div> with
font-size: 0.75em; or
font-size: small; will usually work fine in an ePub or HTML that will be converted to MOBI by calibre.
It should be noted that Kindles (software and devices) have limits to how small the text can be. If the default font size in the Kindle is set to the smallest available size listed on its menu then any attempt to create a small cap will fail, leaving the small caps the same size as standard caps. In order to proof the MOBI file properly, you should set the default font size on the Kindle to be the third from the smallest, or larger, leaving at least 2 smaller sizes available for use as the small caps.
