Thanks Jürgen and Paul. I'm now in conversation with the journal.
They accept latex files and can build from them on their e-submission
site a pdf that the author can view for approval, but this pdf is
only for viewing -- it has all the figures lined up at the beginning,
for example. And in my case, for some reason, it also did not show
italic or small caps in the correct places. The journal is not
typeset with latex, so they must have a way to go from a latex file
to something in their format that's at least roughly accurate. In any
case, they have to check the latex file to see where the figures go,
so it seems to me they can also check it to see where \emph and \noun
= \textsc are marking italic and small caps.

No. \noun is semantic markup that uses a macro defined by LyX:
\newcommand{\noun}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
You see, it's really \textsc, but the advantage of semantic markup
is that you
can easily redefine \noun if needed (for instance, if you want the
persons'
names in full caps instead of small caps).
Does your publisher really hinder you from putting the above macro
in the
preamble?
You can also use \textsc in LyX, that's in Edit->Text Style->Shape-
>Small Caps
(which is different from Edit->Text Style->Misc->Noun).
As to \emph, this is semantic markup, defined in LaTeX2e. Its
advantage
compared to \textit is that it has italic correction.
Oh, and btw, *never* use \sc and \it instead of \textsc and \textit.

I'll try to find out from the journal what they recommend to fix
this problem. Thanks, Rich.
You might ask the journal whether they apply their own style files
or macros and, if so, whether they happen to have a macro named
\noun (which might be redefining the one LyX puts in the exported
LaTeX).
