If my spouse and I moved to South Carolina from New York on November 5th of 2025 do I have to file taxes in South Carolina if I did not receive income from South Carolina?

Maybe....depends on other income....you didn't have to be working.
For instance:
1)..any retirement pension income you received after moving to SC is considered SC taxable income.
2) ...ANY Interest, Dividends, Capital Gains, Mutual Fund distributions you received from any account, after you moved to SC, is considered SC income.
____________________
Other: SC does part-year taxes a bit differently form most states. For Part-Year residents, SC allows you to file either A) as a full-year resident, calculating a tax on ALL your year's income, but allowing a credit for the taxes you paid in the former state's part-year tax return....OR...B) as a full-year NON-Resident of SC, where you allocate what sub-portion of your Federal income you actually received after moving to SC.
Which way works best can take some extra work testing both situations.
Thank you. I'll try both ways.
