It does for me. I believe it always has. Are you sure your options are
set correctly? Also, are you sure that the html source doesn't contain
<sup/> and <sub/> tags that aren't being styled?

Here's a example and the output

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
,* Super and subscript
this is a super^{1} script. and a sub_{2} script.

another super^3 and another sub_4
#+END_SRC

and the results (C-c C-e C-b h H)

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
<div id="outline-container-sec-1" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-1">Super and subscript</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
<p>
this is a super<sup>1</sup> script. and a sub<sub>2</sub> script.
</p>

<p>
another super<sup>3</sup> and another sub<sub>4</sub></p>
</div>
</div>

#+END_EXAMPLE
