In South Carolina there are no overarching criminal statutes of limitations, and few statutes of limitations for individual offenses (statutes like S.C. Code Ann. § 34-11-60, regarding bad/fraudulent checks, may be a rare exception). For most crimes, offenders may be prosecuted no matter how much time has lapsed since the incident.
