It is not critical to do the returns in the correct order. The reason it is recommended that you do the out of state return first is that you may need the tax from that state to enter in your resident state return to get a credit for it.
You can review the credit for taxes paid to another state on your North Carolina return to make sure you entered the correct tax from your South Carolina return. If it is correct, then you do not need to redo the returns.
You can delete the two returns and start over if you want, however.
