License compact status

South Carolina does not require a jurisprudence exam for compact privileges — making the PT licensing on-ramp particularly fast. SC has enacted ASLP-IC legislation but is not yet issuing privileges; OT Compact is not enacted.
Physical therapists can check which states issue PT Compact privileges, and anyone new to travel therapy can start with the travel therapy guide.
Top markets right now
Active openings cluster in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head. Setting mix favors skilled nursing and outpatient, with seasonal coastal demand particularly strong from spring through fall.
Tax and stipend considerations
South Carolina has a graduated state income tax topping out at 6.4%, with brackets favorable to mid-range earners. Cost of living throughout the state runs well below national average. Coastal areas can be more expensive in peak season; inland markets are consistently affordable.
What makes South Carolina distinctive
South Carolina's combination of PT Compact membership without a jurisprudence exam requirement makes it one of the fastest license on-ramps in the country for traveling PTs and PTAs. Add in coastal lifestyle appeal, southern hospitality, and below-average cost of living, and South Carolina earns its place as a perennial traveler favorite.
