Each release of ACS has an upgrade guide. See below link for upgrading
from 3.0.x to 4.2.1:

http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.1/html-single/Release_Notes/index.html#upgrade-from-3.0.x-to-4.2.1

The upgrade process would be transparent to the guests.

According to 
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.1/html-single/Release_Notes/index.html#upgrade-from-3.0.x-to-4.2.1,
 you don’t require
to remove and add the KVM host back again. Only a package upgrade and some
settings update to environment.properties should suffice.

I would first try the upgrade on a non-production setup to be safe. :)

HTH.
