S.C. Code § 44-7-2130
A district constitutes an agency of the county to operate health care facilities and shall receive the proceeds from any special public hospital tax levied by the authorizing subdivisions. The reincorporation under Article 16, Chapter 7, Title 44 of the 1976 Code of any public hospital corporation that heretofore has been designated as the agency of a county to operate and maintain public hospital facilities in the counties in no way impairs or invalidates this designation and the reincorporated public hospital corporation shall continue as such just as if it had not been so reincorporated. Nothing in this section, however, limits any rights or powers otherwise conferred upon a district pursuant to any other provision of this article or of law.
