It's not Core material. It's from Blood of Angels.

Oh my...
I need to remember this. It's hilarious. I like the image of running around as a small child in a dungeon just for the extra plusses.

There are rules for creating young PC, though they have more penalties than I like. It isn't just "be sized small", it more "be physically incompetent, small, and have annoying restrictions".
Or you could houserule some nonsense around and just say that any race can be sized small, if they take dwarfism (the genetic form, not the race) or young age. It's not all that broken, usually classes that benefit most from small characters benefit well from the racial bonuses and abilities of size small races.
If you really needed to impose an extra neg 2 to str for being smaller than you should normally be, I guess it's reasonable if they're cheesing hard on the build.

Both Blood of Angels and Blood of Fiends have a side-bar on page 4, "Non-Human Aasimar" or "Non-Human Tieflings", which specifically allows Aasimar and Tieflings from humanoids other than Human, stating that the difference is "purely a matter of size". They gain any of the bonuses or penalties related to that size, but gain no racial bonuses except those of the aasimar/tiefling; beyond size, their humanoid ancestry is purely cosmetic.
You could be an Ogre-kin Tiefling, but you don't gain the Str/Con bonuses that come with Enlarge spells, just the -1 to AC and to Hit, and the ability to wield Large weapons without penalty.
