No. Undying only triggers when the creature "dies" (is out into the graveyard from the battlefield). Discarding does not count as dying.

And just for reinforcement...
From the Comprehensive Rules:
702.91. Undying
702.91a Undying is a triggered ability. "Undying" means "When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it."
