Hi! Is there standing water or runoff causing the rot? In addition to repairing the area, I would try to redirect any rain or runoff away from the door. I use a product called JB-weld for small areas. Good luck and stay safe!

Depending on the damage, you could possible put a metal kick plate to cover. If that isn't large enough, replace part of the door with plywood and add the plate to that.
There is a product Durham makes and it is called "Rock Hard Putty" and you get it at the Home Depot. Even the big size is under $10 a can. You mix it with water and apply the paste and let it dry. Then sand and paint.
