'Map the plot' means to explain the plot of a story. You'll hear this a lot from reading teachers who'll ask their class to 'map the plot'.
For example, you'll have just read a book in class. Your teacher wants to know what it's about, so they tell you to map the plot.

As @Eternity_Ghost noted, “map the plot” refers to figuring out the events in a story and their order.
It is an example of figurative language (a metaphor) because it compares the events of a story to locations. Just as someone exploring a new land might map out (create a map of) that place, you can figure out the position or order of events in a story.
