S.C. Code Ann. § 55-5-240
The person taking the appeal shall file notice of intention to appeal with the grounds thereof in the office of the clerk of such circuit court, and summons shall thereupon be issued by the clerk and shall be served upon the director or his designee. Upon the filing of the notice of intention to appeal with the grounds thereof, the appeal shall be docketed for trial no less than ten days or more than thirty days after the service of the summons and shall be tried by the circuit court without formal pleadings in term time or in vacation. Upon trial of the appeal the court shall hear evidence as to matters concerning the order in question, the condition of the property in question and the manner of its operation and shall enter judgment either affirming or setting aside the order of the division; or the court may remand the matter to the division for further hearing. The filing of the notice of intention to appeal with the grounds thereof shall operate as a supersedeas.
