Per internal rules of the Republican party, members of Congress serving as a committee chairman can only serve a designated period of time, and then the chairmanship moves to the other ranking member of the committee. Chris Smith was not "ousted" in some form of alleged Machiavellian plot; his term as chairman came to an end. Unlike the Democrat party, the chairmanship of committees rotates to other members in the Republican party.
