S.C. Code Ann. § 52-7-75
If a promoter knowingly does not apply for a permit at the time and according to the procedures stipulated in the regulations of the commission, the permit may be denied. However, the administrator may issue a permit if the application and other required items are received by the administrator after the deadline if he is satisfied everything else is in order and if the promoter pays a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars a day nor more than one hundred dollars a day for each day that the application for the permit is submitted past the deadline date. Payment of the fine does not preclude action authorized under Sections 52-7-60, 52-7-65, and 52-7-150.
