If the pipe is in good enough shape you can weld over the hole, BUT If there is one small hole rusted in the system it is a good sign the pipe is rotted. There will be many other holes soon.

Should you patch or just replace exhaust components if there's a small hole right before the muffler?

If the hole is smaller than a nickel, I would not worry about it.

Some newer cars have drain holes in the exhuast system to prevent things from rusting out quickly.
