Somewhere between not being busy at all and being overwhelmed with work.
Strictly defined, it would mean moderately busy. In actual usage, people use it to say they are too busy to do whatever you are asking about.
"Could you look at these drawings and give me your opinion?"
"Sorry, I'm kind of busy right now." = I'm telling you in a nice way that I have too much work now.
