S.C. Code § 25-1-2490
Persons confined other than in a guardhouse, whether before or during trial by court-martial, must be confined in any place of confinement under the control of any of the federal armed forces, state military forces, or in any penal or correctional institution, detention facility, jail, or stockade under the control of the State or any of its political subdivisions. All expenses of the confinement must be paid as if the prisoner were committed to confinement by civilian state officials. Unless circumstances prohibit, the place of confinement must be in the prisoner's county of residence or the county in which the prisoner's unit is headquartered.
No provost marshal, commander of a guard, master-at-arms, warden, keeper, sheriff, supervisor, or officer of a place of confinement designated in the first paragraph of this section, may refuse to receive or keep any prisoner committed to his charge, when the committing person furnishes a statement, signed by him, of the offense charged against the prisoner.
Every commander of a guard, master-at-arms, warden, keeper, sheriff, supervisor, or officer of a place of confinement designated in the first paragraph of this section, to whose charge a prisoner is committed shall, within twenty-four hours after that commitment or as soon as he is relieved from guard, report to the commander of the prisoner the name of the prisoner, the offense charged against him, and the name of the person who ordered or authorized the commitment.
