Not unless you become a poster child for spontaneous human combustion.
Seriously, look at the data sheet for the thumb drive. It will tell you the storage temperature limits. Odds are, the drive won't get hot enough unless you are running a dangerously high fever. In which case who gives a dang about a lousy thumb drive? Watch your health instead.
Now if you were hiding the drive, not in a pocket but in a body cavity, THAT might harm the drive.

Operating Temperature of Flash Drives (Thumb Drive) is:
– 0°C to 60°C
Storage Temperature – -20°C to 85°C
So no you will not damage it via body heat.

I've never heard of that happening since they are designed to be carried/portable.

No. Just don't forget it and let it go threw the wash.
