I live in SC and work in NC only 3 months. Which state do I need to file in?

Both. Assuming you didn't work in South Carolina during the tax year, you will need to file as follows:

Since the state you worked in North Carolina does not have a reciprocal agreement with your home state of South Carolina, you'll have to file a resident tax return and a nonresident tax return. On your resident tax return (for your “home” state), you list all sources of income, including that which you earned out-of-state.

Note: To ensure accurate calculations, TurboTax strongly recommend preparing your nonresident state return for North Carolina before you prepare your resident state return for South Carolina.
