Methods for collecting a judgment are the levy of bank accounts, seizure and sale of non exempt property belonging to the judgment debtor, or a lien against real property belonging to the debtor, in some cases including the debtor's share of property that is jointly owned. If none of the above methods are viable in enforcement of the judgment the judgment creditor can obtain a wage garnishment. Also, in rare cases the judgment creditor can request the court to order a forced sale of real property to satisfy the debt owed.
Actually, in SC the only debt that they can garnish wages for is child support.
If you have a civil judgment or lien against you in South Carolina and you pay you house off, they can not take it directly from you. They may be able to put a lien against it until you pay the debt off.

The answer to this question depends on the state in which the judgment was entered. Each state has its own statute setting forth the amount of time for which civil judgments may be enforced. In North Carolina, the creditor has 10 years to collect, but can apply to the court for an additional 10 years by filing an action on the expiring judgment.

South Carolina's statute of limitations on a written contract is only 3 years. The SOL for an oral contract it is not specified. Please be aware that the state law that applies could be different based on the actual contract language.
South Carolina seceded prior to the start of the American Civil War, but it was the first state to do so.
No, it would be out of their jurisdiction and not enforceable.
