South Carolina Deepfakes law summary
Coverage in this area is still under review.
Rooted Reality reviewed South Carolina State House materials on H 3517 and related deepfake-election proposals. Public trackers indicated an active 2025–2026 bill, but we couldn't verify it against a stable South Carolina primary source on the May 5, 2026 review. No enforceable rule shows on this card today.

Why this status
Coverage in this area is still under review.
What this means
- South Carolina has no verified state-level deepfake rule on this card today — federal law and each platform's own content policy are what apply here.
- Tracker activity around H 3517 suggests movement, but movement isn't a rule. Until the bill clears both chambers and is signed, nothing changes for households here.
- Federal protections (intimate-image laws, election-fraud statutes, CSAM rules) and a depicted person's existing civil claims still apply regardless of South Carolina's state-level posture.
What to do next
- Open H 3517 on the South Carolina State House's bill-tracking site — committee action, floor votes, and the Governor's action all get recorded there first.
- For content concerns today, the platform's own policy and federal complaint paths (FBI IC3 for fraud, NCMEC for content involving minors) are the active levers.
