OK, let's look at that. According to the 1860 census there were 26,701 slaveholders in South Carolina. Twenty-five percent of that would be 6675. So your claim is that there were about 6700 black slave owners in South Carolina.
The same census records 9,914 free black people in South Carolina. So for your claim to be correct then 67% of all black people in South Carolina owned slaves. Does that sound right to you?
But wait, that 9,914 is total free blacks in the state; men, women, and children from 1 year old to over 100. If we break it down by just adults, there were 4504 free blacks above the age on 19. So for your claim to be true then not only would every single free black adult, male and female, in South Carolina have to own slaves but 2200 free black children would also have to be slaveowners. Again, does that seem right to you?
could be, but since I posted the article to back up my claim, stop the straw man argument, okay?
Now, lets google black slave owners in Charleston:

Slave holding among the mulatto class in South Carolina was widespread according to the first census of 1790, which revealed that 36 out of 102, or 35.2 percent of the free Black heads of family held slaves in Charleston City. By 1800 one out of every three free black recorded owning slave property. Between 1820 and 1840 the percentage of slaveholding heads of family ranged from 72.1 to 77.7 percent, however, by 1850 the percentage felt to 42.3 percent.

And since I live in Dixie now, I would think that when black americans and white americans all tell me that blacks had almost FIFTY percent of the slaves in South Carolina...
I cant find that 50% on line in any history, but to a man, they were all taught it in SC where I live
