I have a thin piece of plastic (1mm thick) to be attached onto a metal cabinet door, in which a screw hole will be drilled. I'm hoping to use a small screw for this (~3-4mm long). Is M3 adequate for the job? Any M3? I thought about using PC screws, but they're a bit chunky.
Any help will be appreciated.

You cannot screw into a sheet metal very effectively. It would be far better to use a small bolt with a nut on the back. Alternatively a rivet could be used.
Tape or adhesive is normally how placards are attached to filing cabinets.
A simple approach is to use rubber cement. Rubber cement will securely attach the plastic and comes off easily if you need to remove it.
