How long does the eviction process take for a rental property in South Carolina?
This depends on why the eviction is taking place. If it's for the most common reason, non-payment of rent, it can be pretty quick. Your landlord, after the 5th day of the month, can give you a notice that you must pay the rent, plus any late charges, or vacate the unit immediately. If after 5 days from the time of this notice this doesn't happen, the landlord can file eviction proceedings. You will then be served with a Summons and will have to answer that Summons within five days of service. If you don't answer the Summons, or if your answer is not convncing to the judge, he can issue a default judgment for eviction and a writ of ejectment. When that happens you have 24 hours to get your stuff and get out, or the constable/deputy sheriff will force you out. The total turnaround time is less than 30 days.
Summons not served?
If the summons is not served, it will be returned to the court. The only time a summons is not served is if you are not home, or they have a wrong address for you.

What are rules for subpoena service in Sarasota County FL?
This depends on what type of subpoena it is. It can be served by a sheriff deputy, a process server, an attorney, or yourself if you're handling your own case (pro se). A subpoena is prepared for its purpose. You go to the Clerk's Office to have it stamped with a seal of the Court (this costs about $1), then you have it served. The Sheriff's Office charges about $20 or more and a deputy will serve it for you. A subpoena has the same type of authority as a Summons. The difference between the two is that a Summons is served to a person to appear before a judge, and only if the person is the Defendant. Subpoenae are served to witnesses.
