S.C. Code Ann. § 41-15-520
Any employee believing that he has been discharged or otherwise discriminated against by any person in violation of Section 41-15-510 may, within thirty days after such violation occurs, file a complaint with the Commission of Labor alleging such discrimination. Upon receipt of such complaint, the Commissioner shall cause investigation to be made as he deems appropriate. If upon such investigation the Commissioner determines that the provisions of Section 41-15-510 have been violated, he shall institute an action in the appropriate court of common pleas against such person. In any such action the court of common pleas shall have jurisdiction for cause shown to restrain violations of Section 41-15-510 and order all appropriate relief including rehiring or reinstatement of employee to his former position with back pay.
