The South Carolina Exposition and Protest, authored by John C. Calhoun in 1828, asserted that the federal tariff of 1828 was unconstitutional. It argued that states had the right to nullify Federal Laws they deemed unconstitutional. This document laid the groundwork for South Carolina's later nullification crisis, where the state attempted to reject the tariff's enforcement. Ultimately, it highlighted the growing tensions between state rights and federal authority in the United States.

In November 1832, South Carolina passed a resolution stating that certain tariffs imposed by the Federal government didn't apply to their state. This was a crisis because states getting to pick and choose what laws they wanted to follow threatened the whole fabric of government. Eventually, the crisis was averted when the unfair tariff law was changed, but also when armed forces were authorized for use in South Carolina. It was a good compromise, but unfortunately didn't solve the larger North-South conflicts that led to the Civil War.

What was the theory that said a state could cancel out a law passed by congress if it was unfair to the state?
The theory you are probably thinking of was nullification, a doctrine proposed by Thomas Jefferson before he became President. Jefferson's theory was not exactly as stated, however. He believed that a state could only nullify an act of Congress if it were unconstitutional. However, at the time, there would have been no clear way to judge whether an Act of Congress, contested by one or more states, was unconstitutional. The doctrine of judicial review had not yet been established. Nullification was most famously attempted by South Carolina during the Jackson administration. A convention of South Carolina citizens passed a resolution stating that a federal tariff law was unconstitutional, null and void. Subsequently, the South Carolina legislature passed legislation meant to enforce this resolution in the state courts. South Carolina's stance was influential in getting Congress to change the law, but President Jackson also threatened to send in troops if South Carolina did not back down (similar to President Washington's actions in Pennsylvania in 1794.) While nullification was not an explicit issue in the Civil War, given the connotations attached to the idea of state sovereignty after the defeat of the Confederate States, the doctrine was largely repudiated afterwards.
