S.C. Code Ann. § 59-25-790: Basis of decision.

The county board, in passing upon such matters, is hereby vested with full discretion to the same extent as if the duty of fixing salaries of teachers had been originally imposed upon the county board and shall have the right to take into consideration changed conditions arising since the issuance of the certificates held by the teachers involved and other facts that will be helpful in rendering a just decision.
