He is smaller than me. No. We'd need more context to be sure, but it probably relates only to physical size.

I can understand that the sentence: He is smaller than me" does not express comparative of inferiority!
Please would you explain more!

Without more context I assume that the words mean that 'he' is not as tall as the speaker is, or possibly not as stocky/heavy/fat.
