Works ok with a true small caps font. I have Trajan Pro (came with Adobe 
InDesign), and when I set that as the lyric font I get small caps:

\version "2.14.2"

\score
{
<<
    \new Staff \new Voice=z \relative c' {c4 c c c}
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto z \lyricmode
    {
      \override LyricText #'font-name = "Trajan Pro"
      This is a test.
    }

}
