Try to use relative path on url from where you have called the function through JSON in your view page.

Like as below:

var urlRelative = '<%= Url.Action("Action", "Controller") %>';
                $.getJSON(urlRelative, function (sourceData) {
                    var select = $("#SourceInfoComboBox1");
                    select.empty();

                    select.append($('<option/>', {
                        value: null,
                        text: "-Select-"
                    }));


$.each(sourceData, function (index, itemData) {
                    select.append($('<option/>', {
                        value: itemData.Value,
                        text: itemData.Text
                    }));
                });

        });
