Magnetic penetration depth, $λ_{m}$ , was measured as a function of temperature and magnetic field in single crystals of low carrier density superconductor YPtBi by using a tunnel-diode oscillator technique. Measurements in zero DC magnetic field yield London penetration depth, $λ_{L} (T)$ , but in the applied field the signal includes the Campbell penetration depth, $λ_{C} (T)$ , which is the characteristic length of the attenuation of small excitation field, $H_{AC}$ , into the Abrikosov vortex lattice due to its elasticity. Whereas the magnetic field dependent $λ_{C}$ exhibit $λ_{C} ~ B^{p}$ with $p = 1 / 2$ in most of the conventional and unconventional superconductors, we found that $p \approx 0.23 << 1 / 2$ in YPtBi due to rapid suppression of the pinning strength. From the measured $λ_{C} (T, H)$ , the critical current density is $j_{c} \approx 40 A / {cm}^{2}$ at 75 mK. We find that this is orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional superconductors of comparable $T_{c}$ .
