What happens when you cast Enlarge/Reduce to reduce the size of an already tiny creature?  This edition doesn't appear to have "diminutive" or "fine".  If it already did a max of 1 damage, does it now become incapable of dealing damage?

Since there aren't standard modifiers attached to size category in this edition, the enlarge/reduce spell does exactly what it says it does, and that is all.

 

tiny creature enlarged: size doubled, weight octupled, size category raised from Tiny to Small, has advantage on strength checks and saves, deals +1d4 damage with weapon attacks.

 

tiny creature reduced: size halved, weight reduced to 1/8, size category stays at Tiny because there is nothing smaller, has disadvantage on strength checks and saves, deals -1d4 damage but the spell specifically says it can't reduce the damage below 1.
