Oct 26, 2014 at 0:59 comment added Vesselin Dimitrov @zy_ : Neglecting the restriction on the genus, this is similar to asking for e.g. lower bounds on non-vanishing quantities of the form $|y^2 - x^3|$, $x,y \in \mathbb{Z}$. Baker's theory of logarithmic linear forms does yield a lower bound here of the shape $(\log{|x|})^{\kappa}$ for a small positive $\kappa > 0$, while the best possible statement $|y^2 - x^3| \gg_{\varepsilon} |x|^{\frac{1}{2}-\varepsilon}$ is a consequence of the ABC conjecture. Your general problem is a question about integral point on surfaces, and not much is known here (there has been some progress by Corvaja, Zannier).
