It depends on how big the system update is, as well as your internet speed. Most updates are small patches and minor adjustments that take only a few minutes to update.

Bigger updates can take around 5-15 minutes or longer to download so that is why it is recommended that you connect your Nintendo 3DS to an AC adapter so that it won't run out of batteries during the update.
