ProviderSouth Carolina Dept of Transportation (SCDOT)
TypeArcGIS REST FeatureServer
Noteverified 46 counties, exact match. A similarly-named layer at arcweb.dnr.sc.gov (.../SC_County/MapServer) is actually a multi-state 2007 TIGER layer (count=76) — do not use it, it's not SC-specific.

ProviderSC Revenue & Fiscal Affairs Office (RFA), sourced from SCDOT, dated April 2024
TypeArcGIS REST FeatureServer
Noteendpoint is live, but an unfiltered count query returned only 7 — likely needs a proper where clause or pagination (resultOffset/resultRecordCount) rather than the full ~271 statewide total. Flagged as live-but-unverified-at-scale; re-query before relying on it. RFA's mapping hub (rfa.sc.gov/mapping) is the authoritative source but no other statewide REST layer was found.

Providera nationwide Census TIGER-sourced layer (also used for AZ) — filter STATEFP='45' for South Carolina
TypeArcGIS REST FeatureServer
Notefiltered query returned 72, plausible given SC's known district consolidations (was 81), but not cross-verified against SC DOE's own authoritative figure — SC DOE's own site (ed.sc.gov) exposed no discoverable REST/API endpoint.
