Mr McGeorge was chief executive of Liverpool-headquartered Matalan for almost four years from the end of 2006.
He was then chairman of New Look for three years from May 2011 and is currently chairman of Burnley-headquartered The Original Factory Shop.
Boohoo has also confirmed that former chief financial officer Neil Catto has stepped down from the board.
He was succeeded as CFO by Shaun McCabe last year but remained at Boohoo as an executive director.
Mr Small had been deputy chairman since January 2020, having first joined as a non-executive director in April 2019.
He was chief financial office at Greater Manchester-headquartered JD Sports from December 2003 to October 2018.
Group executive chairman Mahmud Kamani said: "Alistair has extensive board-level experience with some great retail brands.
"We look forward to working with him and are confident that he will help us deliver our ambition to be the global fashion leader.
"Brian departs with my significant thanks for his positive contribution over the last four years on the board, initially as audit chair and then as deputy chair from December 2019.
"Neil has been with the group for 12 years and is held in the highest regard for his substantial contribution.
"He has been instrumental in building the group from a one-brand-business and into a multi-brand platform. I, on behalf of the wider board, management team and group, wish Neil and Brian the very best for the future."
