I have created a simple example for you:

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.onClick = this.onClick.bind(this);
        this.state = {
            arr: [
                { name: "first", isActive: true },
                { name: "second", isActive: true },
                { name: "third", isActive: true },
                { name: "fourth", isActive: true }
            ]
        };
    }
    onClick(index) {
        let tmp = this.state.arr;
        tmp[index].isActive = !tmp[index].isActive;
        this.setState({ arr: tmp });
    }
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                {this.state.arr.map((el, index) =>
                    <div key={index} onClick={() => this.onClick(index)}>
                        name: {el.name} / isActive: {el.isActive ? "true" : "false"}
                    </div>
                )}
            </div>
        );
    }
}

Check the fiddle and implement it in your case.

One more way to handle this is keeping the index of an active button in the state:

class App extends React.Component {

state = {
    users: [
    { name: "John" },
    { name: "Sarah" },
    { name: "Siri" },
    { name: "Jim" },
    { name: "Simon" },
  ],
  activeIndex: 0,
}

render() {
    const { users, activeIndex } = this.state;

    return (
      <div>
        {users.map((u, i) => (
          <div
            className={i === activeIndex ? 'active' : ''}
            onClick={() => this.setState({ activeIndex: i })}
            key={u.name}
          >
            {u.name}
          </div>
        ))}
      </div>
    )
  }
}
