The same as it does in any any other time signature. I think that what you are getting at is what eighth note triplets would sound like. In 6/8 time the 6 represents how many beats there are - 6 beat per measure. The 8 represents the type of note that gets 1 beat - 1/8th notes get 1 beat. Usually the 1/8th notes are grouped into two sets of three 1/8th notes giving each measure a triplet feel to begin with. If you use 1/8th note triplets in 6/8 time, the division would be 3 1/8th triplets into 2 normal 1/8th notes. So you would have 3 groups of 1/8th notes triplets in 6/8 time.
