hopefully somebody more knowledgeable than me can comment on how
viable this is, but would a @@csl like export snippet construct help
with the problem?
In that case your macro could be along the lines of

#+MACRO: name @@csl:<span style="font-variant: small-caps">$1</span>@@

and -- assuming the custom export backend approach I proposed in the
patch -- we would only need to make sure that the inline @@csl export
snippets are exported as is by this "csl"  backend.

best wishes,
