If the LaTeX command doesn't require an argument, you can always add it
to `org-entities-user'. Otherwise, you may define a macro like the
following:

  #+MACRO: sc @@e-latex:\textsc{@@$1@@e-latex:}@@

I agree that's not as convenient to set up. But once it is done, it's as
easy to use as raw commands.

Anyway this is a minor point. I guess it will be swept under the rug of
historical reasons, after all.
