S.C. Code Ann. §§ 16-16-10 to 16-16-40 · Read the law's page

• Ordinary, non-deceptive automated access to a South Carolina-connected public page does not by itself violate this chapter; the felony and misdemeanor offenses require accessing a computer, computer system, or computer network wilfully, knowingly, maliciously, and without authorization or for an unauthorized purpose, for the stated wrongful ends.
• Do not access, or cause to be accessed, a computer, computer system, or computer network without authorization to devise a scheme to defraud, obtain money or property by false pretenses, commit another crime, or to alter, damage, destroy, or modify data, programs, or software, or to introduce a computer contaminant.
• Do not engage in computer hacking, defined to include accessing a computer without express or implied authorization, using a port scanner or probe without permission, or using a computer, computer system, or computer network in a manner that exceeds any right or permission its owner granted; this is a separate misdemeanor offense regardless of any financial gain or loss.
• If you are convicted under this chapter, expect a separate civil action from the owner or lessee of the affected computer system for compensatory damages, restitution, and attorney's fees; this civil remedy does not arise independently of a criminal conviction.
