Lapis isn't a villian. It's kind of like calling Steven a villian because he slapped Garnet's glassess off.

But, Lapis IS an antagonist. An antagonist is someone who is against a protagonist, and she was indeed an antagonist against the Crystal Gems, and very slightly Steven.

A really good example of what I'm explaining, is with sports. If one person playing for a team is against another player for being on another team, that is an example of the first person being an antagonist. That person is a good person, but an antagonist toward the other.
