Morphology
The meaning 'to defecate involuntarily in one’s clothing' is directly compositional from 'shit' (to defecate) + 'one's' (possessive) + 'pants' (clothing), so a learner who knows the constituents can infer the sense. The construction is literal and cross-linguistically common, although it is colloquial/vulgar in register.
Etymology
Shat one's pants comes from a very literal image: someone was so scared or surprised that they accidentally shat, meaning 'pooped', in their pants. That's why it now means 'to poop in your pants without meaning to because of fear or shock'.
