South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is in charge of gun permits.
On their website they have links to three Code sections dealing with guns and off-limits locations.

And here's SLED's summary of off-limits locations. This appears to be a paraphrase of various laws, not actual text from any Code section:
__________________
A Concealable Weapons Permit (CWP) holder is prohibited from carrying a handgun at these locations:
Premises of private or public school, college, university, technical college, other post-secondary institution (without express permission of person in charge of premises)(Section 16-23-420)(Felony - $5000 and/or 5 years imprisonment)
