What's up it's like, what's happening? what's going on with you? things like that... Just asking you what's happening or going on with you at the moment.

So if you are watching TV at the moment and your friend on the phone asks you what's up? you could say, "nothing, just watching TV". Or if you are studying at a library and a friend passing you asked what's up you could say, "nothing much, just studying" or whatever. And if you don't have much going on at the moment you could just say "nothing much, how about you?" It's just another way of saying hi.
