A SMETA 2-Pillar audit comprises:

●● Labour Standards

●● Health and Safety

●● Additional Elements:

• Universal Rights covering UNGP

• Management Systems

• Entitlement to Work

• Subcontracting and Homeworking

• Environment (shortened)

A SMETA 4-Pillar audit contains in addition:

●● Environment (extended) – this replaces the

Environment (shortened) section detailed

above

●● Business Ethics

As Luisa Sot indicates, the 4 Pillar option is slightly more comprehensive.
Are you going for SMETA due to a specific requirement from clients? If so then check with them, as some companies have a preference for 4-pillar in their supply chain.
