for example a man has his chest uncivered for skelah,

It’s a machlokes in the gemara in Sanhedrin:

One opinion is that a man is covered in front with a small cloth and a woman is covered in front and in back.

The other opinion is that a man is stoned naked and a woman clothed.

The other major difference (vis a vis skilah) is that if the person is hanged afterward (as is done for some sins), only a man is hanged. A woman is not hanged.

Otherwise, the procedure is the same — and, in all events, the court case itself is carried out identically regardless of the gender of the defendant.
