South Carolina — Palmetto

No boundary to name — the shields are loaded whole
In the vendor-boundary states an honest platform can only NAME the protective-order rule. Here it links the rule itself: Rule 26's general provisions (protective orders included), the objection machinery of Rules 33, 34, and 36, and Rule 37's sanctions — each loaded per rule from the court's own pages. Read the unit before responding to anything.
Privilege survives every forum
"The South Carolina Rules of Evidence do not apply, except as to privilege, in an arbitration hearing but shall be considered as a guide"
Rule 12(b)(4), SCADR
Even where the evidence rules only GUIDE (court-annexed arbitration), the privilege carve-out holds — the scope line says so itself.
The ESI shield is the OLD harbor
"Absent exceptional circumstances, a court may not impose sanctions under these rules on a party for failing to provide electronically stored information lost as a result of the routine, good-faith operation of an electronic information system."
The pre-2015 federal safe harbor, kept — the discovery plan tells the whole preservation story.
If the fight goes cross-border
A foreign subpoena served on you in South Carolina came through the county clerk under the loaded UIDDA — and its deposition, production, and inspection practice must comply with the same loaded SCRCP discovery rules. The interstate lane.
