Perhaps you're better off by tweaking those variables:

    (defcustom tex-font-script-display '(-0.2 0.2)
      "How much to lower and raise subscript and superscript content.
    This is a list of two floats.  The first is negative and
    specifies how much subscript is lowered, the second is positive
    and specifies how much superscript is raised.  Heights are
    measured relative to that of the normal text."
      :group 'tex
      :type '(list (float :tag "Subscript")
                   (float :tag "Superscript"))
      :version "23.1")

(defined in tex-mode.el) -- try '(0.0 0.0) to lower/raise sub-/superscripts by
zero, and

    (defcustom tex-suscript-height-ratio 0.8
      "Ratio of subscript/superscript height to that of the preceding text.
    In nested subscript/superscript, this factor is applied repeatedly,
    subject to the limit set by `tex-suscript-height-minimum'."
      :type 'float
      :group 'tex
      :version "23.1")

(likewise) -- try 0.0 to keep the size equal to the main font. Something
like

  (setq tex-font-script-display '(0.0 0.0))
  (setq tex-suscript-height-ratio 1.0)

or its custom equivalent (maybe via the customize interface?)
