I have several orange pi pc plus using armbian and need to upgrade. I was able to upgrade to bionic but the kernel continued on version 3.4.113-sun8i. How do I upgrade the kernel?

I need to upgrade because I will use the docker and it requires a kernel at least with version 3.10
 

Why don't you flash a new image instead? Even Ubuntu doesn't upgrade the kernel after certain version.

the problem is that I have it spread out over several regions and this process is going to be expensive

In theory: you need to remove existing kernel package, u-boot, board support package, upgrade and manually update u-boot, check boot script if its the same as the one in the build script, check if armbianEnv.txt is present and you have a correct UUID inside. Then install DTB kernel package, kernel IMAGE and board support package.
