XX will be filling in for him/her
Explanation:
This is the standard English expression. If it is just for one activity, the xx will fill in is correct.
Deputize means something quite different - to make someone a sheriff's deputy.
Replaced by - this would be used if the person was leaving permanently. One can thalk about temporary replacement: in Y's absence x will replace him temporarily. Without this, it creates the impression of permanency.

will be replaced by


Explanation:
I would tend to use the passive in an English formulation:

in his/her absence, XX will be replaced by YY

otherwise

"YY will be replacing XX "

Somehow the simple future sounds dry.

valóban, szerintem is bibis a "deputized" - csak nagyon speciális környezetben elképzelhetö, söt annyira, hogy eszembe se jut olyan.

If "deputy"is really the right specialized term, then "x will serve as y's deputy" - but I can't really see this.

stand in for


Explanation:
még egy lehetőség:

stand in phrasal verb (US USUALLY fill in)
to do the job that another person was going to do or usually does, or to take their place at an event, because they cannot be there:
Paula stood in for Jane, while Jane was on holiday.
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=77499&dict=CA...

A deputize-t csak nagyon magas pozícióknál használják pl. igazgató, miniszterelnök.

A replace-nek tényleg lehet olyan jelentése, hogy valaki véglegesen távozik és valaki új jön a helyére. Viszont számos példa van a "temporarily replaced by"-ra is.
