I don't think this is a good place for the question; there's a list for
slime questions, and lots of places to ask emacs questions.

One way is: 

  C-M-a - beginning-of-defun
  C-M-SPC - mark-sexp
  M-w - kill-ring-save

Then you can can switch to the repl and C-y it.

There might be a shortcut to do all of that in one step, but I don't
know about it.

If you just want to send a form to your Lisp, you can do that without
involving the repl, C-M-x or C-c C-c will do the trick.
