How can I get org-babel to properly render ' and not ’ when exporting to LaTeX and to Beamer? I didn't find any good solution yet, and I would like the code to be copy-pasteable.

Smart quotes render 'text' as `text' in LaTeX.
That can be done in following ways.
Enable smart quotes for all exports
Put this in your init.el after loading org-mode.
(setq org-export-with-smart-quotes t)
Enable smart quotes on export only a particular org file
Put this in the beginning of the org file.
#+OPTIONS: ':t

Actually I notice that, even without (setq org-export-with-smart-quotes t) it renders ' for html but not for latex nor beamer exports. – mhartm Nov 4 '14 at 5:53

@mhartm I thought of smartquotes and upquotes as the same. The second solution should resolve your question. – Kaushal Modi Nov 4 '14 at 17:39

I misunderstood your question when writing my first answer. Here's a second try, tested out.
Solution
You need to use a combination of alltt and upquote latex packages. Here is my solution based on the below referenced solutions from TeX SE and the use of org-mode Macro Replacement.
The below MWE was tested on emacs -Q, emacs 24.4.
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{alltt}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{upquote}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \makeatletter
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newcommand*{\textalltt}{}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \DeclareRobustCommand*{\textalltt}{%
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \begingroup
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\do\@makeother
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \dospecials
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \catcode`\\=\z@
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \catcode`\{=\@ne
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \catcode`\}=\tw@
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \verbatim@font\@noligs
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \@vobeyspaces
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \frenchspacing
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \@textalltt
#+LaTeX_HEADER: }
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newcommand*{\@textalltt}[1]{%
#+LaTeX_HEADER: #1%
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \endgroup
#+LaTeX_HEADER: }
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \makeatother
#+MACRO: UPQUOTE @@latex:\textalltt{'}@@
Without upquotes: 'How' about this?
With upquotes: {{{UPQUOTE}}}How{{{UPQUOTE}}} about this?
Requirements
allttandupquoteLaTeX packages. If you use TexLive, you can dotlmgr install allttandtlmgr install upquote.

Thanks, but I want upquotes always to be upquotes, like when text is exported to html. I don't want to add {{{UPQUOTE}}} each time... – mhartm Nov 5 '14 at 4:39
