I don't know the answer to that question, but South Carolina is one of a few states which recognize out-of-state permits, but only if the out-of-stater has a permit from his state of residency.
I'm not able to get a permit in my county in Kalifornia, so I can't carry in South Carolina despite having permits sufficient to carry in almost forty states.
For this reason, South Carolina was one of the states which I avoided visiting during my recent 12,000 mile tour of the U.S.

The last I looked, getting a SC permit is pretty straightforward. I think you may have to take a class, though.
Unfortunately, reciprocity is not as straightforward as “have a permit from your home state.” They don’t have reciprocity with GA, which stinks for me, as I travel to SC regularly.
