That's unfortunate!

This needs to be fixed in the MatJax configuration, the definitions on
TeX side don't have any effect on MathJax.

The configuration may look like this:

------------------------------
\RequirePackage{mathjax-latex-4ht}
\Preamble{xhtml}
\Configure{@HEAD}{\HCode{
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
  MathJax.Hub.Config({
    TeX: {
      Macros: {
        \unexpanded{
        sc : "\\small\\rm",
        sl: "\\it",
      }
    },
    }
  });
</script>
}}
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble
-------------------------

MathJax doesn't seem to support small caps, so we must fakt it a bit.
You may need to add more command definitions to the macros section in
the config file. Note that you can use only command supported by
MathJax. I am not sure if it is a good idea to to add these
definitions to mathjax-latex-4h.
