No idea.

better use {\mathematics{\rm #1}} so that you can also write in
equations.

Some catcode trickery might work. This is all I could manage.
% \def\molecule#1{\mathematics{ {\rm #1}}}
\bgroup
\catcode`\_=\active
\catcode`\^=\active
\gdef\activatelohi%
{\catcode`\_=\active
\def_{\low}
\catcode`\^=\active
\def^{\high}}
% This does not work. Why?
% \gdef\molecule#1{\activatelohi #1}
\glet\molecule=\activatelohi
\egroup
\starttext
{\bfa A story about {\molecule SF_6}}
{\scx A story about {\molecule SF_6}}
{\bsb A story about {\molecule SF_6}}
\stoptext
Though this uses a different syntax than what you had.
I have not looked into it, but doesn't one of context's chem module
fit this need?
