How much capitol gains would I pay

I sold my second home/rental home for a profit after owning it for two years.

What would the tax rate be for South Carolina and Federal tax?

Also would I only pay on the amount after closing costs and all fees?

You pay on the GAIN, including depreciation recapture.

Individuals are allowed a deduction from South Carolina taxable income equal to 44% of the net capital gain recognized in South Carolina.

Try this tool https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/taxcaster/?s=1. Enter your regular income first to see the regular tax. Then add the sale to see the effect.
Enter the difference between the sale price (less expense of sale) and what you paid for it originally as a long term capital gain (LTCG). Enter the depreciation you've taken over the years (depreciation "recapture") as other income. Depending on how much total income you have LTCG are partially taxed at 0%, 15%, 20% and/or 23.8%. Depreciation recapture is taxed at your marginal rate, but not more than 25%.

Any mortgage payoff is not factored into the equation.
