South Carolina businesses must comply with out-of-state subpoenas and warrants for electronic data.
South Carolina businesses must treat subpoenas, court orders, or warrants from other states as if they were issued by a South Carolina court. This applies to businesses organized under South Carolina law, with a principal place of business in the state, or foreign businesses storing data within South Carolina or doing business there. A circuit court judge can issue search warrants for electronic data or information stored anywhere, provided the business operates in South Carolina. Warrants must be executed within ten days and require a certification of the seized records' accuracy.
