South Carolina SMS Compliance Compliance
Text message marketing compliance rules in South Carolina
Mini-TCPA State — S.C. Code § 16-17-446
South Carolina has enacted a state-level TCPA that goes beyond federal requirements. Federal compliance alone is not enough for SMS Compliance operations here.
Consent Requirements
SC has no state-level SMS-specific statute. Text messaging is governed by the federal TCPA. Prior express consent required for marketing texts; prior express written consent required if using an ATDS or sending to cell phones. The lack of a state mini-TCPA means no state private right of action for unwanted texts — federal TCPA is the primary enforcement mechanism.
