South Carolina, USA hemp laws: quick overview

South Carolina’s Hemp Farming Act (SC Code Title 46, Chapter 55, § 46‑55‑10 et seq.) defines hemp as Cannabis sativa L. with a delta‑9 THC concentration not exceeding 0.3% on a dry weight basis, aligning with the federal definition ([scstatehouse.gov](https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t46c055.php?utm_source=openai)). Bill 3924 (2025‑2026 session), adding Chapter 56 to Title 46, establishes that hemp‑derived consumables must not contain more than 0.5 mg of delta‑9 THC per serving and explicitly excludes chemically‑derived cannabinoids such as delta‑8, delta‑10, HHC, THCo, THCp, and others from the definition of hemp‑derived consumables ([scstatehouse.gov](https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2026/prever/3924_20250206.htm?utm_source=openai)). Bill 3935 (2025‑2026 session), the “Consumable Hemp Licensing and Regulation Act,” adds Chapter 81 to Title 39, defining hemp‑derived consumable products (≤ 0.3% delta‑9 THC dry weight) and mandates independent testing by ISO 17025‑accredited labs using HPLC, with COA requirements ([scstatehouse.gov](https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2026/bills/3935.htm?utm_source=openai)).

Shipping guidance

Inbound shipments of hemp are allowed under the USDA interstate commerce rule; SCDA issues permits for handlers and transporters. No specific age verification or retailer registration for shipping is currently codified beyond general licensing requirements ([agriculture.sc.gov](https://agriculture.sc.gov/faq/hemp/?utm_source=openai)).

Testing & COA guidance

Under Bill 3935, independent testing laboratories must hold ISO 17025 accreditation or DEA registration, be impartial, and use HPLC for THC concentration testing. COAs must be produced; retention requirements not specified in available text ([scstatehouse.gov](https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2026/bills/3935.htm?utm_source=openai)).

What to buy

Products compliant with SC Code § 46‑55‑10: hemp‑derived consumables containing ≤ 0.3% delta‑9 THC by dry weight and ≤ 0.5 mg delta‑9 THC per serving, excluding chemically‑derived cannabinoids listed in Bill 3924.

What to avoid

Avoid products containing delta‑8, delta‑10, HHC, THCo, THCp, and other chemically‑derived cannabinoids explicitly excluded under Bill 3924; smokable hemp flower not separately regulated but must meet delta‑9 limits.

How to shop compliant, tested hemp

  • Delta‑9 THC ≤ 0.3% dry weight per SC Code § 46‑55‑10 (federally defined THC level) 
  • Hemp‑derived consumables must contain ≤ 0.5 mg delta‑9 THC per serving under Bill 3924 (2025‑2026 session) 
  • Certain cannabinoids (e.g., delta‑8, delta‑10, HHC, THCo, THCp) are explicitly excluded from “hemp‑derived consumables” under Bill 3924 
  • Permits required from SCDA for farmers, handlers, processors under SC Code § 46‑55‑10 et seq.
  • Independent lab testing (ISO 17025 + HPLC) required under Bill 3935 (2025‑2026 session)
