I do not understand the behaviour of the \sc macro. I thought
smallcaps would turn out to be smaller than capitals. But I see no
difference between them except a subtle difference in letterspacing.
Am I doing something wrong here?

Minimal example and output:
\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[lmodern]
lmodern: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
cambria: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank
\LuaTeX-version=0.\the\luatexversion\crlf
\ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\crlf
\stoptext
Smallcaps changes only the layout of lowercase letters but some fonts
let you also change uppercase letters.
In the example below you can see how you can change uppercase and
lowercase letter with the smcp and c2sc features.
\definefontfeature[f:smcp][smcp=yes]
\definefontfeature[f:c2sc][c2sc=yes]
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\starttext
An easy and breezy Sunday morning.
{\feature[+][f:smcp]An easy and breezy Sunday morning.}
{\feature[+][f:c2sc]An easy and breezy Sunday morning.}
{\feature[+][f:c2sc,f:smcp]An easy and breezy Sunday morning.}
\stoptext
