Hmm ... for me the synonym for "to resign" would be "to step down".
"To stand down" means to give up one's place in a dignified manner. George Bush, talking about when U.S. troops would leave Iraq, said "As Iraqis stand up, we will stand down."
I suppose this term could apply to someone who is resigning from his job, but it would have to mean in a dignified way, respectfully.
