Yes that is kind of expected - the small-caps value takes the uppercase 
characters of the font and reduce it in size (by about 80%), unless the 
selected font contains true small-caps glyphs.

You may want to have a look at the font-feature-settings property [*]:
        font-feature-settings: "smcp" on;

The caveat is that you must use a font that contains the necessary glyphs. 
Hint: common fonts such as Arial do not. So this is best used in combination 
with @font-face.

Support is somewhat spotty: Firefox, prefixed and IE 10+ afaik.
