S.C. Code Ann. § 38-71-980

The director or his designee may suspend all or any part of Section 38-71-940 as to the premium rates applicable to one or more small employers for one or more rating periods upon a filing by the small employer insurer and a finding by the director or his designee that either the suspension is reasonable in light of the financial condition of the insurer or that the suspension would enhance the efficiency and fairness of the marketplace for small employer health insurance.
