  If you are using Drupal, why not make a Views Block showing membership status/type and put this somewhere eg /user?
  
  I understand I am not answering the OP of 'how to show a Smart Group in a profile' but am trying to answer a more generic question "how can i show a user their membership type"
  
  You may find a downloadable view that already does this in our [Treasure Trove](https://www.fuzion.co.nz/treasure-trove) eg [this one](https://www.fuzion.co.nz/blogs/showing-user-their-membership-status-using-views-block)
