Steyn was out of competitive cricket for a year after suffering a shoulder dislocation during a Test match against Australia last year.
With Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Chris Morris injured, Morkel being added to the list is a major blow for the hosts.
Morkel left the field in his sixth over of the Bangladesh's second innings and didn't return to bowl for the rest of the day.
No overs were bowled after tea and play was called off for the day around 1615 GMT with an improved weather forecast for Sunday and Monday.
