Of particular interest is the question of whether such orthochromites are, in fact, magnetically driven improper ferroelectrics, as many rare-earth manganites or orthoferrites. Here we show, by studying at the atomic scale the rare-earth SmCrO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> system that a distortion of the Sm local environment emerges within the paramagnetic phase, near room temperature. Our Electric Field Gradient measurements combined with first-principles calculations show that the emergent phase cannot be simply ascribed to the <jats:italic>Pna<\/jats:italic>2<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> structure as reported for GdCrO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> or SmCrO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>.
