What is the penalty that a magistrate can give me for breach of peace in South Carolina if found guilty?

"Breach of the Peace" is an awfully broad term; the sentence will depend on the specifics. The maximum sentence could be as little as 30 days (failure to disperse when ordered to by a duly authorized official during a state of emergency) or it could be as much as three years (entering a public building for the purpose of destroying records or other property). I recommend you look up the South Carolina Code of Laws Title 16 (should be available in any public library, or online) and see what the penalty is for the specific section you're being charged of violating.

This all depends on what you mean by 'decide a case' and which country you are in. In the US and the UK, however, a Judge may pass a sentence based on whether or not the Jury has declared a person guilty or not guilty (in a case where a man pleads not guilty) and in a case where a man pleads guilty then the judge, or magistrate passes a sentence; usually reduced based upon the man's plea of guilty.
