Reciprocity in this context refers to a state allowing a member of the bar assocation of a different state to obtain a license in that state without sitting for and passing a separate bar examination.
Reciprocity is often allowed when your state offers the same option of admission to the bar without examination to licensed attorneys from the state to which you wish to apply.
State bar assocations often have reciprocity agreements with states that share a boarder. Check with states where you would like to obtain a license, you may have to first practice in your state without suspension for 5 or more years, then pay an application fee ($800 or so) to apply to the neighboring state.

As far as I can tell, none. Of the states that do offer reciprocity, all of them require that the state in which the attorney sits offer reciprocity to them, as well. SD does not allow reciprocity with any state, so no state will allow reciprocity with SD.
As of 2002, Georgia does allow admission on motion for practicing attorneys. You have to have practiced 5 of the prior 7 years, be admitted in a state that recognizes comity/reciprocity, and be found fit to practice in GA. Attorneys in good standing with another state bar who do not meet the 5 of 7 requirement or the comity/reciprocity requirement can be admitted after taking the essay portion of the GA Bar exam.
Generally, no. Ohio bar exam reciprocity is very limited, and Indiana's reciprocity is based on the attorney having 5 to 7 years' experience and intending to practice law predominately in Indiana. An Ohio-licensed attorney may apply for a provisional one-year admission to the Indiana Bar if he fulfills these requirements; after five consecutive provisional admissions, the Ohio-licensed attorney is eligible for full admission to the Indiana Bar.
Does NM have provisions for admission by motion, reciprocity or waiver?No. All applicants, regardless of number of years of practice or number of bar exams taken, are required to take the entire bar exam, both the essay and Multistate exams.
Indiana has no formal reciprocity but provisionally admits lawyers who have practiced law for five years of the seven years immediately preceding their applications for admission without taking and passing the Indiana bar examination. In Colorado, other states have to reciprocate for Colorado lawyers. In other words, If Illinois has reciprocity with Colorado (and it does) then Colorado will reciprocally admit Illinois lawyers
The Virginia bar has reciprocity with all states and the District of Columbia. That means that you do not have to retake the bar exam to practice law in Virginia.
