If the curve has good reduction, then the Jacobian has good reduction. The standard reference for this is SGA 7. Now you need that the $l$-adic representation is unramified; this is one direction of Neron-Ogg-Shaferevich. (One reference for that off the top of my head is the Serre-Tate Annals paper, although note that all it's only the easy direction of NOS we use here.) Meanwhile, a quadratic twist is tamely ramified (this is for $p$ odd -- when $p=2$ the result you want is probably false in fact). If you need a reference for this, you can try the Artin-Tate notes on class field theory, but much like the previous reference, I'd regard this as overkill for what you are asking for.

In brief: if you have an unramified representation of dimension $d$ and you twist it by a tamely ramified character, the resulting representation has conductor $p^d$. I don't really know what would be a great reference for this specific observation, but it's not a difficult calculation.
