Hm. That looks definitively odd. It looks as if fontspec can't
detect that the smcp feature is there. 

Actually there is even a bug report about this
https://github.com/latex3/fontspec/issues/441

But as I'm not on mac I can't make tests and suggest a correction
(the fix suggested in the issue is a bit fishy, as it uses a number
which can change).

Ah, and very useful. I have worked out the following as a possible approach…

And a nice surprise: Not many fonts, even those labelled ‘pro’, contain italic, 
bold, and bold-italic small caps:
