I think SC is an exception, for some reason. I’m seeing they are winner take all.

Not exactly. The winner of each congressional district wins 3 delegates, and the overall state winner wins some additional delegates. Three delegates are unbound and go to the convention not pledged to any candidate.

My notes say:
‘winner take all’ statewide and by congressional district
Whatever that means...
