A key to understand and calculate the SOC effect of hydrogen adsorbate is to obtain the site-representation of the hydrogen-induced potential $V_{\rm H}$ for the $i$ band electrons. In this work, we take a microscopic approach to derive the form of $V_{\rm H}$ in the low energy regime, where the hopping constants could be related to ones derived from ab initio calculation. As such, $V_{\rm H}$ could provide more realistic description while allowing a transparent exposition of understanding physical mechanism. The microscopic approach involves the local distortion of the orbital for the carbon atom to which the hydrogen is adsorbed, allowing the back and forth transition of electron between $i$ band and $\sigma$ bands. In the present of hydrogen adsorbate, the orbital distortion opens up a non-SOC channel for the electron to make the transition between $\sigma$ and $i$ band; in contrast, without adsorbate, the transition is purely via SOC channel. The site-representation $V_{\rm H}$ has a SOC constant $V_{\rm sf}^{(0)}\sim 0.08 \Delta_{\rm so}^{\rm at}$, in which $\Delta_{\rm so}^{\rm at}\sim meV$ is the intrinsic (atomic) SOC of a carbon atom. This SOC constant is much larger than the intrinsic SOC in pristine graphene $(\sim 5\mu eV)$. Overall, this work lays a foundation for the future derivation of the exchange interaction for hydrogen adsorbate.
