I've found this occur with a couple of my podcast-only playlists. I found these playlists in the music app, however they were empty.
Removing them from the iphone and resyncing them did not fix the issue

You find them now in the Podcast App under "more", "iTunes playlists"
There is no "more" in my podcast app....
There's only "My podcasts", "My Stations", "Featured", "Top Charts", and "Search"
Playlists that are displaying normally for me can be seen under "My Stations" -> "Itunes Playlists". However, as mentioned in my previous post, a couple of these podcast only playlists don't appear here. For some reason they are listed in the music app as zero item playlists.
Sorry, I meant "My Stations".
I got all my playlists to the Podcast app, when I synced and checked, that the Option box "sync only marked titles and videos" was not ticked.
Hi, when I click on on "my stations" in the podcasts app, I just see "on the go" "most recent" and "all unplayed" How do you create a podcast playlist?
I was having podcast only playlists that wouldn't show up in the iPhone. I selected all of the podcasts in the playlist and went --> Get Info --> Options --> Media Kind and changed them from "Podcast" to "Music." I actually changed them to "Audiobooks" afterward, because then I could take advantage of that feature allowing me to pick up where I left off. I did this all because of the terrible Podcasts app on the iPhone that was double-syncing podcasts and taking up twice as much space as it needed to.
Nevermind, I just tried to actually play them through my iPhone's Music app as Audiobooks and nothing happens (it just rapidly cycles through them and plays no audio). And when the Media Type was switched to Music, they still don't show up in the phone: the playlist appears empty.
Okay final update: what we worked for me is that, instead of dragging podcast files directly from the Finder into an iPhone playlist, I first dropped them into an iTunes playlist, then changed the Media Type to "Music" and blanked the Genre (one of those steps is probably redundant), then finally dragged them onto an iPhone playlist. Now they appear in playlists on my iPhone's Music app.
