I grew up in Beaufort, SC and new many people with the surname Smalls. Most were African-American. The most prominent Smalls in SC history was undoubtedly Robert Smalls, who was born into slavery, escaped, and ultimately served as a State Representative after the Civil War. There's an interesting page at http://www.africawithin.com/bios/robert_smalls.htm.
