No. \noun is semantic markup that uses a macro defined by LyX:

\newcommand{\noun}[1]{\textsc{#1}}

You see, it's really \textsc, but the advantage of semantic markup is that you 
can easily redefine \noun if needed (for instance, if you want the persons' 
names in full caps instead of small caps).

Does your publisher really hinder you from putting the above macro in the 
preamble?

You can also use \textsc in LyX, that's in Edit->Text Style->Shape->Small Caps 
(which is different from Edit->Text Style->Misc->Noun).

As to \emph, this is semantic markup, defined in LaTeX2e. Its advantage 
compared to \textit is that it has italic correction.

Oh, and btw, *never* use \sc and \it instead of \textsc and \textit.
