S.C. Code Ann. § 56-9-361: Employment of suspended driver as operator of vehicle; employer's proof of financial responsibility.

Whenever any person whose license would otherwise have been suspended for failure to deposit security required pursuant to this article is, or later becomes, an operator in the employ of another owner, the Department of Motor Vehicles may in its discretion, notwithstanding any provisions in this chapter to the contrary, allow such person to retain his license to operate a vehicle of another owner, in the pursuit of such employment, if the employer-owner of the vehicle shall have furnished proof of financial responsibility covering the operation of any vehicle which such person may be permitted to operate. The Department shall designate the restrictions imposed pursuant to this section on that person's license.
