S.C. Code Ann. § 34-3-660

With respect to any banking institution which is closed (a) on account of inability to meet the demands of its depositors, (b) by action of the Commissioner of Banking or of a court or (c) by action of its directors or in the event of its insolvency or suspension, the Commissioner of Banking or the receiver or liquidator of such institution with the permission of the Commissioner of Banking may borrow from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and furnish any part or all of the assets of such institution to such Corporation as security for a loan from it. But when the Corporation is acting as such receiver or liquidator the order of a court of record of competent jurisdiction shall be first obtained approving such loan. Upon an order of a court of record of competent jurisdiction and with the permission of the Commissioner of Banking, the receiver or liquidator of any such institution may sell to the Corporation any part or all of the assets of such an institution. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to limit the power of any banking institution, the Commissioner of Banking or receivers or liquidators to pledge or sell assets in accordance with any existing law.
