So, I'm using the article class, and I'd like to make the page number smaller, and set it in a different font. I don't need to create a new pagestyle, necessarily, and I'm hesitant to do so without understanding the ramifications.

If you are using Koma-Script, you can use the scrpage2 package, and then define your own styles scrheadings and scrplain (see the Koma-Script manual). You can then assign them to all pages but the chapter pages, or to the chapter pages specifically:
\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrplain}
I show your original, followed by two alternatives. The first scales the summation to 20% of the original size. The second scales the 3 to 500% of the original size. The \scaleobj command is part of the scalerel package. It is similar to the \scalebox command of the graphicx package, except that it defaults to math mode, and takes the current math style into account.

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{displaymath}
3^{\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{2^n}}
\end{displaymath}
\begin{displaymath}
3^{\scaleobj{.2}{\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{2^n}}}

\begin{displaymath}
\scaleobj{5}{3}^{\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{2^n}}

Thanks for the suggestion to use fancyhdr/redefine page styles. From the fancyhdr manual:
