You can set the smallcaps font with the “smallcapsfont” key but I suggest
to use the new keys instead because the old ones will disappear at one point.

\definefontfamily[…][…][…][bf=file:ryt1xbtt,sc=file:ryt1xttsc]

The bold caps font you want to use is not possible with the \definefontfamily
command because context doesn’t provide a command to use it by default.

The simplefonts alternative works better when you have the small caps
in a separate file (I will look if I can do something for the default alternative
to support this there as well) but I won’t use it because the algorithm
can fail in some cases.
