To say something is beneath someone's dignity is not uncommon in the older generations in America, though I doubt is would be used by those under age 30. It means that something is too rude or coarse for a polite person to do.

Hm, I'm not really sure what you meant by "to stand of my dignity". Perhaps you meant "to defend my dignity"? "To uphold my dignity"?
As for the second sentence, that should be "beneath my dignity" (there is no "of"). In English, you say "beneath/below something", without a preposition.
