Not much at all.
I got this really bad a couple years ago from preacher curls with the ez-curl bar. I don't have the flexibility to bend my hands to a thumb-out position, so they put too much strain on the tendon. Straight barbell curls are even worse (just tried them after 2 years off). I'd take 2 weeks off your arms, then work in some bicep exercises that are low-stress on that tendon, like dumbbell hammer curls.
Basically, your body probably can't do the exercise that hurts them. It's not a big deal. I haven't done any straight or ez-curl bar exercises with my biceps, and they're my 2nd most well-developed muscle. There's like 5 variations of normal dumbbell curls you can do, incline bench dumbbell preacher curls, cable curls, bicep curl machine, reverse barbell curls (more forearm), etc.
