I am assuming that you are using the standard JFace interfaces and classes for the wizard implementation. So, in your wizard page (extending org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardPage) you just have to override the performHelp method. See the below snippet.

@Override
public void performHelp() 
{
    Shell shell = new Shell(getShell());
    shell.setText("My Custom Help !!");
    shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
    shell.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));

    Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
    browser.setUrl("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7322489/cant-put-content-behind-swt-wizard-help-button");
    browser.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));

    shell.open();
}
