The <sup> tag is definitely not presentational.  It's good for the browser
to know what is superscripted.  Think about math and powers.

 

The browser will interpret these two things totally differently:

 

104

10<sup>4</sup> (correct)

10<span>4</span> (browser will think it's 104 instead of 104)

I would go with David Dorwood's suggestion, this seems the most logical. I
would try and avoid the <sup> tags, as these are for superscript, which is
really presentational and should be handled by CSS if this is the style
that is required.
