South Carolina requires the same state filing status as the Federal tax return.
If you and your husband file your Federal return Married Filing Jointly, you would file a joint SC return with a Schedule NR, but only report your husband's income on the SC return.
If you file Married Filing Separately on your federal return, then only your husband would file a SC return.
Your husband (or both of you if filing jointly) would be required to file either a part-year or resident South Carolina tax return.
Per the SC filing requirements linked here:
You are a South Carolina resident, even if you live outside South Carolina, when:
Your intention is to maintain South Carolina as your permanent home; AND
South Carolina is the center of your financial, social, and family life; AND
When you are away, South Carolina is the place to which you intend to return.
You are a nonresident if your permanent home is outside South Carolina all year and none of the above apply.
Nonresidents or part-year residents must file a South Carolina return if they work in South Carolina or receive income from a SC source.
