Let $S$ be a surface of genus $2$, and let $S'$ be a surface of genus $3$.

What is an injective homomorphism of $\pi_1(S')$ into $\pi_1(S)$?

The two to one covering $p:S' \to S$ defined in the answer to your previous question induces a homomoprhism $$ p_* : \pi_1(S') \to \pi_1(S).$$

This is injective: see here
