Often, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 700D and K100D S.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon 700D to deliver greater detail due to its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 700D will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
