S.C. Code § 61-10-280
A person who manufactures in this State ginger ale or similar soft drinks in which there is an alcoholic ingredient not exceeding one-third of one percent may import alcohol into this State or order and receive alcohol from another state in quantities not exceeding ten gallons, for which no permit is required. However, the person must first file with the clerk of court of the county in which his manufacturing plant is located a bond with an approved surety company as surety in the sum of one thousand dollars, to be forfeited to the State upon the proof of misuse of the alcohol or disposition of it otherwise than as provided in this section for the manufacture of the product. The solicitor, in his discretion, may bring action upon the bond upon information or belief.
