There's no need to update your references unless you're already interviewing for a job. On your resume you can just say references are available upon request. Generally speaking, there's no need to provide them until you're well along in the interviewing and hiring process.

I personally don't think it's a big deal to ask. I have employees ask to be a reference eventually all the time, and as long as they assure me they aren't leaving, I won't assume they're leaving until they tell me they are. But there's also no harm in waiting until you actually need the references to ask for them.

I really wouldn't take the risk until you absolutely need to update your references. Whether you need your references right now or not, they will assume that you are job hunting.
