In your case, you will need to make some adjustments on the South Carolina return to remove the Utah return for your income, since you were never a South Carolina resident and the income wasn't taxed in South Carolina. This situation isn't typical, so it isn't addressed very clearly or very well on the forms and instructions.
Adjust your Utah income in the South Carolina return in TurboTax by going to "Other Subtractions". In the box "Description of Other Subtractions From Income" list a description such as "Nonresident spouse Utah income" and then list the dollar amount of income in the amount of income. You can use whatever description here makes sense to you, mine is just an example.
This will subtract the nonresident income from the South Carolina return.
Utah allows spouses with separate state residences to use a different state filing status than federal filing status. Since this is permitted in Utah (but not in South Carolina), you may wish to file separately in Utah to make things a little easier.
To do this in TurboTax, since all state returns are made up of data that flows from federal entries you will create "mock" separate federal returns. Detailed instructions for this process can be found here: Filing separate state returns
