I restored a log cabin with rot issues at one point. The rot often goes deeper than you might think. On logs that had deep rot I used CPES (http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=1268). Its a 2 part really stinky epoxy that seeps into the wood and stops all the rot in place. That treatment prepares the wood to accept epoxy/sawdust mix or some other product (Jamestown has this too).
Personally, I would remove the bulk of the rot. Then treat the edges with CPES. cut a new piece of OSB to loosely fill the area (leave 1/4 gap on all sides. Using foil tape secure the new OSB from the underside making sure to make the area fairly liquid tight. Mix up a bunch of epoxy with about 25% fine sawdust. Pour this mix around the fresh OSB and let it dry.
