What is the reason for this?
Rav Yaakov Bieler suggests we stand during Hodu (Tehillim 136) because it is called Hallel HaGadol (Pesachim 118a) and parallels Hallel which is said standing. See Sefaria Shulchan Aruch OC 422:7:
מִצְוַת קְרִיאַת הַלֵּל מְעֻמָּד. The mitzvah of reciting Hallel is [done] standing. .
