OW, that's gotta suck.

I just looked at the config & I've never seen a game without an 8x6 option before. Damn, just looked at the config & there's no entry for resolution. You could TRY running it in windowed mode: Under the [3D] header in SFC3.ini change the 0 to 1 in "windowed=0" That might override the native resolution & force it to a smaller one.

Sadly, I think you might have to shell out the cash for a new monitor. 15" monitors are quite cheap at the moment & can handle 1024x768 fine, hell, 17" monitors are pretty cheap at the moment.

I've got the same problem.  Civilization 3 was the same way, minimum 1024x768.
My monitor is a hand-me-down from my dad that is over 5 years old.  
When I want to play SFC3, I just switch monitors with my dad's computer, although this means I can only play when he is not home.
