S.C. Code Ann. § 15-39-50: Execution against the person.

If the action be one in which the defendant might have been arrested, as provided in SECTION 15-17-20, an execution against the person of the judgment debtor may be issued to any county within the jurisdiction of the court after the return of an execution against his property unsatisfied in whole or in part. But no execution shall issue against the person of a judgment debtor unless an order of arrest has been served, as in this Code provided, or unless the complaint contains a statement of facts showing one or more of the causes of arrest required by SECTION 15-17-20.
