    If you leave the country while your extension is pending, then your extension of stay will be abandoned i.e., you will get the H1 extension approval without I-94. you need to get a new stamp to enter US if your current one has expired.

    Adding to Aswini's response,
    You applied for extension
    You left USA
    Your H1 Extension was approved(I-797), sent to your company(without the I-94) on it
    Your company sends the I-797 to you abroad
    You will go to the local consulate and get your extended H1 stamped
    You will enter USA with the new extension approval(I-797) and stamping.
