This method uses ReplaceAll to avoid recomputing f[x]:-
f[x_] := (1^-9) (Exp[38.629 x] - 1);
data = Table[f[x], {x, -5, 5, 0.01}] /. x_ /; x > 0.005 :> 0.005;
ListLinePlot[data, DataRange -> {-5, 5}, PlotRange -> {0, 0.01},
PlotStyle -> {Thickness[0.005]}]
And this method maps the if condition, also avoiding recomputing
f[x]:-
f[x_] := (1^-9) (Exp[38.629 x] - 1);
data = If[# > 0.005, 0.005, #] & /@ Table[f[x], {x, -5, 5, 0.01}];
ListLinePlot[data, DataRange -> {-5, 5}, PlotRange -> {0, 0.01},
PlotStyle -> {Thickness[0.005]}]
