Why a wood screw? What type of head do you want, wide, countersunk, pan? And what thickness and materials are you using? A sheet metal type of screw comes to mind as the smallest I've used, 1/4".

I concur with Bud. If you want a short screw into wood a sheet-metal screw is your best choice. Truth is, unless I am fastening two pieces of wood together a sheet-metal screw is my first choice into wood.

really short machine screws
The real problem is the dividers in the case. I had one and gave up trying to use it very quickly.. The dividers just flex too much to stay in place. You might try 1/4" Masonite as dividers but you almost have to add 1/2" inch plywood to the sides to hold them.
