No Slavery has not been abolished in South Carolina or the United States of America for that matter. The 13th Amendment is often misquoted or not quoted at all. The 13th Amendment allows for slavery and involuntary servitude as punishment for crime and immediately following its passage in 1865, laws like the Black Codes were passed and prisons started filling up with formerly enslaved Africans and they would be leased back out to plantations and other businesses under the Convict Leasing program. Today, just as was the case prior to the passage of the 13th Amendment, Wall Street is heavily invested in private prisons for profit and corporations like the Corrections Corporation of America have contracts with States to keep the prison above 90% full and the United States of America imprisons/enslaves more people than any country on earth including countries that the American people are told do not have freedom and liberty and are oppressed. Slavery was never abolished because if it were, there would be no slavery exception clause in the 13th Amendment or any of the State Constitutions. If anyone tells you it has, they are either ignorant of what the language of the 13th Amendment means or they are deliberately lying.

Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
