There's a few ways to approach this.
- The Apple Way: Subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, and turn on iCloud Music Library to upload your iTunes Library from your Mac to iCloud so it can be accessed from the iPhone's default Music App. Note that this will use cellular data for accessing and playing the music from iCloud when not on Wifi.
- The external way: Copy the actual music files to a folder on iCloud Drive or any other cloud service (assuming they are not DRM protected), and then use a 3rd party music or media app (the default Music App on the iPhone cannot access iCloud Drive or other cloud services directly to play them) to access and play them. This will also use cellular data to access and play them when not on wifi.
- The old fashioned way: Simply sync the playlists to the iPhone instead of uploading them to iCloud. This will not use cellular data at all.
