Your Employer Cannot Fire You for Filing a Workers' Comp Claim
Your company cannot fire you in return for filing a workers' compensation claim without risking serious repercussions. Though South Carolina is an "at-will" state, meaning your employer can fire you at his/her will, retaliatory firings are not allowed. With that in mind, if you've been injured at work, we recommend that when you return to work, be a model employee. Don't give your employer any reason to let you go.
No injured worker should have to worry whether filing for workers' comp is going to get them fired.
