How much can I sue for in small claims court in South Carolina?
Answered for: South Carolina
Magistrates have concurrent civil jurisdiction in the following cases: (1) in actions arising on contracts for the recovery of money only, if the sum claimed does not exceed seven thousand five hundred dollars; (2) in actions for damages for injury to rights pertaining to the person or personal or real property, if the damages claimed do not exceed seven thousand five hundred dollars;
South Carolina caps a small claims suit at $7,500, The $7,500 ceiling recurs across each head of concurrent civil jurisdiction in § 22-3-10 (contract, personal/property injury, penalties, attachment, bonds, confessed judgment, fraud in sale of personalty, recovery of personal property).
