You don't really need to merge two sections as you can select all sections for editing & playback. Keeping the section divisions would allow you to reuse those sections independently within the song on a later occasion.
GarageBand is fantastic tool for making music on your iPhone or iPad. In this article we take a look at some of the editing features that make it so powerful, and show you how to get the most from. GarageBand for iOS makes it incredibly simple to play, record, and share your music, no matter where you are. Tap into a wide range of instruments from around the world. And now with the Sound Library, you can choose and download more free instrument and loop packs when new sounds are released, to help you easily craft songs in your favorite.
That said if you really want to do it it can be done however you will have to copy each segment of recording or loop into a new section, track by track. Create a new empty section into which you want to copy everything and set the bar length to automatic. Set insertion point to the beginning of this section. Tap twice on the first segment of the first track select it and then bring up the menu of options. Click copy, then tap again and tap paste. The segment will paste into the start of the new section and move the insert point forwards. Tap twice on the next segment, copy, tap again, paste. If you have gaps between segments in a track then move the inserttion point forward by hand before copying the next segment. Repeat for all segments, and all tracks.
Assuming your song had Sectons A & B you will have copied it all into section C. You can now delete sections A & B, duplicate section C which will give two sections C & A in that order, so deleting C will give you the song in section A.

Incidentally looking for a way to do this made be spot what looks like an incomplete feature. If you click away from any recordings you get a menu with two options Select All and Import... Select all seems to do what you would expect, but there doesn't to be a way to invoke the next menu which ought logically to include Copy & Delete. I've tried all sorts of ways and places to tap and I just can't get it to appear. If it worked merging sections would be a whole lot easier.
