If we are going to make arguments about election results we have to be smart while presenting them. First, SC has a very good voting system. The ExpressVote system gives a voter a chance to verify his/her ballot before it is scanned. The paper ballot is kept in a locked box for verification if necessary.
Regarding Biden receiving 237K more votes than Obama in 2008, you should expect that. The state grew in population by more than 600K in that same time frame. Most of the population growth was voting-age people moving into the state.
Trump’s margin of victory in 2020 was 90K votes more than Romney’s in 2008.
To paraphrase St Augustine, you cannot talk nonsense on some things and expect anyone to believe any of your comments.
While you're cleverly vote-splaining things to me, you might want to explain this table, which compares the Hillary 2016 changes from Obama 2008 to the Biden 2020 changes from Obama 2008.
We'll note that 2016 was 8 years after Obama, whereas 2020 was only 4 years after 2016. The "explosion" in Democrat "voting" came in 4 years. We can examine the population increases in the 2010 Census and 2020 Census to arrive at an average figure per year.
As you noted, the state of South Carolina grew in population by more than 600K in the time frame we're talking about.
Other reference points we want to take into account are the US senatorial elections in South Carolina [2020/2016/2014/2010/2008]. The various US House races can also impact the presidential election numbers, but I usually examine those last.
The purple row on the table identifies where the "fortified voting" starts falling off to normal turnout.

My benchmark for almost certain vote fraud is an increase over Obama 2008 of about 108%.
Now, in South Carolina, you DO have to take the population increases into account, so we can push the benchmark up to a 110-112% increase for laughs.
This is something that can be addressed by drilling down later, after you've identified The Usual Suspect Counties.
Another point to address is the outlier counties, highlighted in light greenish-blue [Georgetown, Jasper and Kershaw].
Without looking at a map [which is one of the keys to understanding the Democrat vote fraud machine], I can guess that these counties have one of two things true about them:
1. They're embedded in a group of fraud counties [within an hour's driving distance of what I call a central command-and-control county], or
2. They are by themselves a Democrat-dominated county, with a Democrat machine in place to "fortify" the "vote".
Now, I don't know much about South Carolina, so perhaps you can add some comments about the power structures related to those particular counties.
One great visual aid for understanding my spreadsheets and tables is printing out a state map with the counties, then plotting on the map the Joe Biden 2020 percentages where he annihilated Obama's 2008 record turnout.
You can easily see the command-and-control counties on that map.
We assume that Trump's numbers aren't cheating, because the DNC Media would be ALL OVER any sniff of Republican rigging [see North Carolina 9th CD, 2018].
Another assumption that I make is that there was no cheating in Obama's record 2008 turnout [obviously not true, but that's a discussion for another day. It's actually the Rosetta Stone to the Democrat vote fraud machine].
Something I noted while doing all 50 states with this scheme was that the Democrats appeared to be "running up the score" in places where they could get away with it - presumably to be able to make the "Muh 81 Million Votes" claim, like they did in 2016, also.
You have to hit that number with a percentage that takes into account non-voting children.
I'm aware of this because I worked both the 2010 and 2020 Censuses, one of those at a supervisory level.
