What exactly are they? Are they rejects or very young pearls? Do these pearls have much value?

Where did you see this term? I have seen the term used to refer to freshwater pearls - a scam. I would stay away from any seller with "baby South Sea pearls".
Do you have a link to this?

American Pearl is using the term to describe a small South Sea necklace - no difference in the pearls, just the size.
The listing on Shop.com is simply deceptive advertising. They are selling Chinese freshwater pearls that have nothing to do with South Sea...

If you search the internet, you may find pearls dubbed as "baby south sea". These are actually nice round freshwater pearls that are 5-10mm. Don't be deceived. They are not real SSP.
