I am interested in assigning the different rows of a 4x4 matrix to variables d1-d4 and the first value of a different matrix to a variable t and using the variables in an if then statement. An example of what I am trying to do is:

So in review I would like to be able to assign variables d1,d2,d3,d4 to the values in the first row, compare to variable t assigned to the first then second then third and fourth entries of the other matrix and then move to the next row in both matrices. Essentially reassigning the variables d1,d2,d3,d4 and t as the notebook runs.

If you want to change data1 and/or data2 between checks,
which is what your sample code does, then
UnitStep[ data2[[1,j]] - Min@data1[[1]] ]
will give 0 or 1 according as the j'th term in row 1 of data2
is or is not less than all the terms in row 1 of data1.
If you want to use the same data1 and data2 throughout then
this will give a vector in which each term will be 0 or 1
according as the corresponding term in row 1 of data2
is or is not less than all the terms in row 1 of data1.
UnitStep[ data2[[1]] - Min@data1[[1]] ]
