It varies. The latest term for which I could find data was the 2008-2009 Term (the US Supreme Court hears oral arguments from October through April). During that Term, they heard a little over 80 cases. I'm not sure exactly what "criminal cases" is supposed to mean with respect to the Supreme Court, because arguably the Supreme Court doesn't hear any "criminal cases" for purposes of determining guilt or innocence.
19 of the cases were about criminal law. That is, they're not so much about "is the defendant guilty or innocent," but rather "what, exactly, does the law say, and were all procedures properly followed to ensure the defendant's civil rights were not violated?"
