When is the best time to dig up and replant a very small pine tree?

that depends on your location which is not specified
I've replanted both in the spring and the fall and the small trees did well. Make sure it has plenty of room when you replant yours. I made the mistake of replanting about 6 feet from my house, and now some twenty years later, the tree is huge and I may need to have it cut down. The roots are spreading to my foundation and it is so wide it blocks the walkway.
Fall is generally a good time to transplant trees. Here are some links.

Early fall to give it time to root before the snow comes.
