Something:

\definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Source Serif Pro]

\setupbodyfont[mainface]

\definecharacterkerning [LittleMoreA] [factor=0.12]
\definecharacterkerning [LittleMoreB] [factor=0.08]

\setuphead
   [chapter]
   [distance=2em,
    style=\tfd,
    textstyle={\smallcaps\setcharacterkerning[LittleMoreA]}]

\definehighlight
   [emphasis]
   [style={\setcharacterkerning[LittleMoreA]}]

\starttext

\startchapter[title=Something Small]

     test \emphasis {test} test

\stopchapter

but the font has no smallcaps
