Curiously I see Minion Pro leaves ſ as-is under smcp. But other typefaces substitute it for a smallcap S. There's also an obscure capital ſ form, which looks like a ʕ. I've never seen that used, and I doubt anybody would recognise it, but it does exist.
My complaint about leaving ſ is that I'd expect a consistent x-height from smcp, and this glyph breaks that. So I think we should do ''something'' with it. My hunch would be to substitute ſ for s.sc, but I don't know if that would annoy people.
