I hope you're caught up with your fonts. Variants aren't defined with 
many, but they are here:

\definetypeface[a][rm][serif][antykwa-torunska][default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[a][tt][mono][modern][default][encoding=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont [a]
\starttext
\startbuffer
abc {x\variant[sc]\space pqr} abc {\variant[sc]pqr}\crlf
{\it abc {\variant[sc]\space pqr} abc {\variant[sc]pqr}}\crlf % dbl spc 
only here
{\bf abc {\variant[sc] pqr} abc {\variant[sc]pqr}}\crlf
{\bi abc {\variant[sc]{x} pqr} abc {\variant[sc]pqr}}\crlf
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer \getbuffer

\def\ignoreimplicitspaces
  {\doifnextcharelse\relax\relax\relax}
\def\variant[#1]% slow
   {\dosetscaledfont
    \expanded{\definedfont% Careful about email wrapping here!
 
[\truefontname{\fontstringA\fontstylesuffix\fontvariant\fontstringA{#1}}
         at \scaledfont]}\ignoreimplicitspaces}

\getbuffer
\stoptext
