Say I have a single creature on the battlefield that has undying. I cast smallpox and in response to that I cast altar's reap targeting my undying critter. I draw my two cards, the critter comes back bigger, but will the smallpox still claim it? Not sure about when the smallpox resolves and the critter comes back from the undying.

Sacrificing the creature is an additional cost for Alter's reap and so by the time Smallpox resolves, you have to sacrifice a creature. There is no 1 for 2 in this scenario and by 1 for 2, I mean you would still have to sacrifice the creature that came back.
I'm rereading this and my phrase sounds poorly worded and I would edit, but I'm in class. I'll explain later if necessary.
You cast Smallpox.
You respond by casting Altar's Reap sac'ing an Undying creature (it does not target).
The Undying trigger is put on the stack.
The Undying trigger resolves bringing back your creature.
Smallpox resolves and you will need to sac a creature.

Ok, that's what I thought. My issue was if the smallpox had already resolved by the time the undying creature came back.
Many thanks.
