It has a possibly negative meaning, but it depends on the person's motives and feelings. It generally means they think you are wrong about something, and they think they are going to help correct you.

A reality check is when you look at things from a realistic standpoint. I would want to know your relationship with the person who said this. Is it a possible date? That person might like you! Is it a police officer? Uh oh...
Reality checks can have a negative connotation if you do not have a realistic perspective on a situation. But they can be positive too.

It's time for a reality check means that your living in your own fantasy world and that's not how the real world runs. When someone says that they are your reality check it means that they are trying to get you back into the real world.

It means that whatever they are about to tell you is about to "bring you to your senses", and change your mind about some stupid notion that they deem that you have.
It DOES have a rather demeaning connotation.
