I have found the need to format text in small caps (with minuscule letters looking like capitals, but still maintaining their size) in Google Docs. I have looked over, under, and in the Docs option menus, but I still have not found any such thing.
I need to apply small caps to a small font size, and the font size won't go any further down, so the method of scaling all-caps text of a smaller font size won't work.

Yes you can, but I don't know how to do it, at least not directly. However, it is possible. If you copy in text that's already small caps (e.g. from wikipedia), Docs will preserve the setting. You can then set one of the styles (e.g. Heading n) to this copied text and use it to format other bits of your document as needed. Changing the font, size, and other attributes doesn't lose the small caps setting. It seems that Docs recognizes small caps as a font attribute but simply doesn't expose it via the UI.
So for example, I can create a new doc, copy in a bit of text in small caps, change the Heading 3 style to capture the setting and then delete the text. Then, every time I need text in small caps, I set it to Heading 3. It's clunky but works for me.
