Because of the large amount of appendix pages, I am looking to change the font size of my appendix text. Google'ing returns lots of links on how to change the title of sections, but I am talking specifically about the content text (paragraphs), the title size can remain the same. Any ideas? I am using scrbook and the appendix package.

Are you looking to change some definition in your preamble? If you just need it for a specific set of paragraphs, you can just use \small or a similar command like David suggests (with or without {}).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\begin{document}
\scriptsize This is text in script size.
\tiny This is a different paragraph in {\small tiny size}, with a different sized section in the middle.
\section{First Section}
\sectionfont{\small}
\section{Second Section}
\end{document}
For what the actual sizes are, have a look at this good answer here. I believe a section header is normally \Large, a subsection is normally \large, and a subsubsection is normally \normalsize so that might give you some perspective. A command like \sectionfont{\large} or \subsectionfont{\normalsize} should change the size of all the applicable headers after it.
For a more in depth answer, check out what Gonzalo had to say.

Thank you for your answer. I'm basically looking to change the text size of one or multiple appendix files (they are all separate .tex files, so I don't mind putting '\small' at the start of these files). Also I would like to turn down the size of the section and subsections heading for these appendix files. – WalterB Mar 11 '15 at 20:25

\small? – David Carlisle Mar 11 '15 at 19:53
