That should not happen. I cannot see the different from my eyes. Here is 
my example. In both cases, bodyfont is 10pt, and scriptsize is 7pt. Do you 
see the differece?

ConTeXT:

\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\starttext $R^N$ \stoptext


LaTeX:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
   $R^N$
\end{document}
