Package algorithmicx provides hooks for use before and after the pseudocode: \ALG@beginalgorithmic and \ALG@endalgorithmic. You can redefine them to suit your needs:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{algpseudocode}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\ALG@beginalgorithmic}{\small}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\begin{algorithmic}[1]
  \State $x \gets 42$
\end{algorithmic}

\end{document}

Note that other algorithmicx layouts may redefine the commands. Also note that this doesn't affect line number size, which is controlled by \alglinenumber.

[Tex/LaTex] Getting small font size in all text of a table

You can use for example {\scriptsize ... } around your \begin{tabular}-\end{tabular}. this will shrink everything to the given size.

for example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
 \caption{Meteorological instruments.}
  \centering\scriptsize
   \begin{tabular}{l l }
\toprule
Measured parameter  &Sensor make and model [serial \#] \\
\midrule
Temperature         &Pt100 in Stevenson screen \\
Barometric pressure &Setra 278 (CS100) [3141007]\\
\bottomrule
   \end{tabular}
 \label{tab:sensors}
\end{table}
\end{document}

This example uses the booktabs package for the rules.
