The two were convicted of insulting religion after leading prayers at a pagoda for Ms Suu Kyi and other activists to be freed, her party said.
A spokesman for Ms Suu Kyi's party, the National League of Democracy, said Chit Pe and Aung Saw Wei were sentenced on Tuesday.
They were arrested in April after leading prayers at a pagoda in Twante, about 40km (30 miles) south of Yangon, said the spokesman, Nyan Win.
But the law was resurrected in 2007 to jail monks demonstrating against the military authorities, and has since been largely used to prosecute political cases.
