I would be curious to know if shear value goes down when sheets are smaller, for example is shear of a wall made of 4x4 sheets with blocking at all intersections the same as shear of a wall made of 4x8 sheets?

Nope on the shear value for horizontal unless blocking is used. Vertical is much stronger than unblocked horizontal. About the same with blocking See the link below which is the source of the quote below and also note it pretty much considers plywood and OSB to be equivalent...
