If he was working for an American company during his entire absence from the U.S., he may be able to get his residency status reinstated. Otherwise, as long as his H-1B status is still valid he should be able to reenter the U.S.

In your situation, the relevant date is the arrival date into the US in January 2014. From that date, you will have to wait two years in order to file the I-751 application to remove the conditional basis of residence status. You cannot shortcut the process at this time by filing papers in July 2014 on the bases of having been married two years on that date. The relevant date is the date of first arrival on a conditional resident card.
