Look at these two CSS rules, both these rules does the same thing, 

font-feature-settings: "smcp" on;
font-variant: small-caps;

but since font-feature-settings is reserved for more specialized operations which can't be achieved by any other manner you should stick to font-variant when there arrives an option to choose between them. Don't kill a fly with Bazooka.

In this case CSS tricks will be more helpful for you,
