S.C. Code Ann. § 38-67-50

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, all pertinent provisions of the insurance laws of this State apply to separate accounts and contracts relating thereto. However, Article 5, Chapter 63 of this title does not apply to variable life insurance policies. Any individual variable life insurance contract, delivered or issued for delivery in this State, shall contain grace, reinstatement, and nonforfeiture provisions appropriate to such a contract. The reserve liability for variable contracts must be established in accordance with actuarial procedures that recognize the variable nature of the benefits provided and any mortality guarantees.
