In South Carolina, 100% of military retirement pay is excluded from income since 2022. In addition, South Carolina requires a separate $10,000 deduction for non-military retirement income ((for the recipient or the surviving spouse) for taxpayers who are age 65 or older.
This separate deduction for non-military retirement pay may be the source of confusion. It could also be older information out there before the 100% exclusion applied.
