S.D. Codified Laws § 58-29B-117
The liquidator shall make his recommendations to the court under § 58-29B-125, for the allowance of an insured's claim under § 58-29B-116, after consideration of the probable outcome of any pending action against the insured on which the claim is based, the probable damages recoverable in the action and the probable costs and expenses of defense. After allowance by the court, the liquidator shall withhold any dividends payable on the claim, pending the outcome of litigation and negotiation with the insured. Upon request by the claimant the liquidator may reconsider the claim on the basis of additional information and amend his recommendations to the court. The court may amend its allowance as it considers appropriate. As claims against the insured are settled or barred, the insured shall be paid from the amount withheld the same percentage dividend as was paid on other claims of like property, based on the lesser of the amount actually recovered from the insured by action or paid by agreement plus the reasonable costs and expenses of defense or the amount allowed on the claims by the court. After all claims are settled or barred, any sum remaining from the amount withheld shall revert to the undistributed assets of the insurer. Delay in final payment under this section shall not be a reason for unreasonable delay of final distribution and discharge of the liquidator.
