More often than not, its tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specs. The picture here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S02 and TG-860.

All in all, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S02 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Olympus TG-860 will offer greater detail due to its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S02 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
