It's not small... (Compare with Vayikra which has the small Alef.) – Double AA♦ Mar 24 at 12:10

I’ve checked three different Chumashim, including a Tikkun, in addition to the one DoubleAA cites. The only one who says that this מ is small is Minchas Shai; nobody else seems to say that this should be a small מ. – DonielF Mar 24 at 15:08

The Oznaim Latorah explains that mokdah was the largest fire in the altar services. The small 'Mem' then came to teach us that everything great should demonstrate humility.
