Update It was easy as i was not aware that Joomla has inbuilt solution by declaring field type 

<field name="v_small_img" type="media" directory="<upload path>" />

By choosing that image can be easily loaded in the desired directory In meanwhile - thanks Amit ray for taking an attempt

You are using wrong name of form

$files = $jinput->files->get('jform');

it is not jform it is v_small_img

So use this

    $input = new JInput;

    $file = $input->get('v_small_img', '', 'post');

Also dont use $_FILES again when you have $file. Use this instead

$file['tmp_name']; JFile::makeSafe($file['name']);

Wherever you have used $_FILES.

UPDATED with full code changes

public function save($key = null, $urlVar = null)
{
    $input = new JInput;

    $file = $input->get('v_small_img', '', 'post');
    //$file = $files['image'];

    $db = JFactory::getDBO();
    //$post   = JRequest::get( 'post' );
    $FILE_PATH= JPATH_BASE ."/images/uploads/variants/";
    //$StrFiles="";

    if((file_exists($file['tmp_name']))){
        if($file['name']!=""){
            $dt = time()."s";
            if(!JFile::upload($file['tmp_name'],$FILE_PATH.JFile::makeSafe($dt."_".$file['name']))){
                return JError::raiseWarning( 500, "Unable To upload File ".$file['name']);
            }else{
               // $StrFiles .=JFile::makeSafe($dt."_".$file['name']);
            }
        } else {
        return JError::raiseWarning( 500, "File name cannot be empty.");
    }
    }
    /*if($StrFiles){
        $post['v_small_img']= $StrFiles;
    }*/
}
