S.C. Code § 8-15-30
Each State and county officer entitled to receive a set of the Code, Code Supplement, Acts, Journals or other such publication shall file with the director of the Legislative Council a receipt acknowledging receipt of it before such publication shall be delivered to him. Each officer receiving such publications shall keep them in his office where they may be used by the public, but this provision shall in nowise affect any of the duties now imposed by law on any officer. Provided, that delivery may be made in the discretion of the director of the Legislative Council by furnishing a direct mailing list to the publisher of such publications or by delivery to the clerks of court in the several counties with a list explaining to whom the publications should be delivered, and requiring the clerks of court, in such event, to give a receipt for the entire delivery.
