An emoji is a sequence of letters that the device interprets as a picture - like the emoji this site interprets as a smiling Andy - : and ), looking like . But there's no correspondence between lol and a colon/paren pair, so unless a keyboard was written specifically to interpret text as emojis, I don't think you're going to be able to do it with any kind of predictive keyboard.
@bassplayrguy, I've been using Swiftkey for years, and never had it suggest a smiley for things like lol. How do you do it?

Pull up the keyboard and hit the settings button above the keyboard.

You have to download SwiftKey app and set it as your keyboard.
