S.C. Code Ann. § 40-53-220

Any person dissatisfied with the action of the Division in refusing his application or suspending or revoking his license or any other action of the Division may appeal by filing a petition within thirty days thereafter in the circuit court in the county where the person resides, and the court shall set the matter for hearing upon ten days' written notice to the Division. The court in which the petition of appeal is filed shall determine whether or not a cancellation or suspension of a license shall be abated until the hearing shall have been consummated with final judgment thereon or whether any other action of the Division should be suspended pending hearing and enter its order accordingly. The court shall provide the attorney representing the Division with a copy of the petition and order. The Division shall be represented in such appeals by the Attorney General or his designated assistants.
