This goes wrong if you have two of these expressions on one line:
\textsc{Foo} \textsc{Bar}
gives
Foo} \textsc{Bar
If `Foo' cannot contain any `}' characters, then you can solve this with
sed -e 's/\\textsc{\([^}]*\)}/\1/g'
If `Foo' does contain `}' (like \textsc{\Foo{\Bar}}) then I don't know
how to handle that.
If this really is TeX, you could probably add
\def\textsc#1{#1}
somewhere at the top of your document to get the desired result.
