Are you sure that SomeFunction() returns data?
To make sure try:

<?php
echo SomeFunction();
?>

That should help you narrow down the problem.

No function didn't returns data
Syntax of Somefunction is following:
<?
function Somefunction()
{?>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
hi
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?
}
?>
is it allowing to make such function works in Smarty?

To pass data to a function you need to have the data in a PHP variable:
Try this:

<?php
function Somefunction()
{
$my_data = '<table>';
$my_data .= '<tr>';
$my_data .= '<td>';
$my_data .= 'hi';
$my_data .= '</td>';
$my_data .= '</tr>';
$my_data .= '</table>';
return $my_data;
} 
?>

Now you function will be returning data which can be passed to Smarty.
