No, a child may not make such a choice until they reach the age of majority in the state where they legally reside (in SC, this is 18).
However the child can make their wishes known by either testifying in court during custody proceedings if allowed, requesting a meeting with the judge, writing to the judge, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court with their wishes. Generally, the older the child along with their rationale will be given more weight than that of a younger child, however the judge will take the child's wishes under advisement and ultimately rule on what he or she feels would be in the child's best interests.

Can mother chose grandparents to watch child in place of father?
A parent can chose whomever they are comfortable with and believe will take care of the child properly while they are away. There is no requirement that a child has to be with a parent, or even a relative. The decisions cannot interfere with the other parent's rights to access and visitation as prescribed by the court.
