1. Base cost: 3. Minimum radius 2yards. So cost 6 covering the entire area where the Giant is.

I can't tell you about DFRPG where it differs from GURPS.
But the GURPS rule is to multiply multiply base cost by 1+SM. (So, x5 for an SM+4 creature.) You don't need to use the Area spells for this purpose, just the Regular Sleep spell. The giant is still one single target creature; there's no need to "affect all his hexes" on top of paying the increased cost for large subjects. Area spells like Mass Sleep are for affecting multiple creatures at once.
If DFRPG doesn't mention increased costs for SM at all, it might well have a rule to use the Area versions instead, at the smallest area that affects the entire creature. But I don't have DFRPG, just the GURPS DF books.
