either

In[5]:= Cases[testList, {_, {3, 4}}]

Out[5]= {{21, {3, 4}}}

or

In[6]:= Select[testList, Last@# === {3, 4} &]

Out[6]= {{21, {3, 4}}}

will do this

This last can be accomplished in one step as:

In[7]:= testList /. {_, {3, 4}} -> {100, {3, 4}}

Out[7]= {{11, {2, 3}}, {100, {3, 4}}, {34, {5, 6}},
    {51, {7, 8}}}
