S.D. Codified Laws § 28-14-7
It shall be the duty of the county auditor, immediately after issuing of county warrants or payment of cash, as the case may be, for the benefit of any poor person, to record the name of such poor person for whose benefit such warrants or cash were issued, the amount thereof, the purpose for which such warrants or cash were issued, together with the name of the fund from which such warrants or cash were drawn, all properly indexed, and to subsequently record in a like manner each additional payment made by the county for such poor person. Such record shall be filed in the office of the register of deeds of the county in which such poor person resides, and in the county of his legal residence or last residence, if he is an inmate of any state institution or deceased.
