Contrary to popular belief, Smilodon did not live on the cold ice age tundras, but rather the more warmer temperate and equatorial regions of North and South America, i.e. California and the the Grasslands of Plestiocene Brazil. Such areas were fairly warm, and Smilodon could totally live on Nublar.

The real problem here is the island is freakin' tiny. 22 square miles is roughly the size of Manhattan(correct me if I'm wrong), there's no way a large population large animals could support themselves there for any given time. I know some Smilodons live in savannas, but others lived in areas where it got tons of ice. Before you say they couldn't, they lived in other places in America other than L.A., California.
