The phrase "a small standard" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific, minor benchmark or criterion in a particular context.
Example: "In our project, we decided to implement a small standard for quality control to ensure consistency in our outputs."
Alternatives: "a minor benchmark" or "a low criterion".
A small standard deviation (compared with the mean) produces a steep graph, whereas a large standard deviation (again compared with the mean) produces a flat graph.
In nearly all cases, the proposed cells outperform existing CNTFET-based cells by showing a small standard deviation in the simulated memory circuits.
Comparisons with the simulation results demonstrate that the multi-probe measurement method can also measure the reference bar mirror profile with a small standard deviation of 10 nm.

The 1995 release of the nerve gas sarin in the Tokyo subways by the Aum Shinrikyo sect killed 12 people, fewer than a small, standard bomb might have killed in that crowded, enclosed area.
