Some sort of residency is a requirement. I don’t know the specifics. Residency is established in a variety of ways. IOW you can’t have someone with no connection to a state. Say a Newt Gingrich who is from GA but resides in the DC area, doesn’t lift a finger to establish a SC residency, suddenly being named a senator. I remember Hillary was not from NY but was determined to be its senator so she had to establish a residency there...the specifics might vary from state to state.
People have been saying that the House Speaker doesn’t have to even be a House member, and that is true. But that is very different than there being no residency requirement to run for office from a congressional district or from a state.
But I doubt she will name anyone not from SC. S Carolinians are crazy in love with being from SC. Period. Talk about angry if she named someone not from there.

Speaking as a South Carolinian whose heritage extends back past my great grandfather, the confederate soldier born 100 years before me, I am highly offended by that statement, you Rangerettes obviously know NOTHING about Carolina, the truth is we are JUST PLAIN CRAZY!!!
