The law, plainly
Under South Carolina Code 56-5-5015, a driver with a medical condition that requires darker tint can be exempt from the standard limits. The standard limit is roughly 27% VLT on the front side, back side, and rear windows, with windshield tint only above the AS-1 line. The exemption is established by an affidavit signed by a physician or optometrist licensed in South Carolina. You keep it in your vehicle and renew it every two years.
