The South Carolina Driver's Manual discusses how long points for moving violations are kept on a SC driver's history. The manual states that points one year old are cut in half and after two years they will be wiped out completely.

So if you have 4 points it would appear that after 1 year your point total would be cut down to 2 and then after 2 years in total you would be back to zero points, unless you have been convicted of new offenses that have placed new points on your license.

Though points are reduced in the above mentioned manner, the violation(s) that caused points to be assessed however, will remain on your SC driving record for 3 years from the date the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) received notification of the ticket.

Another way in which to clear your record of points, or at least reduce your total by 4, is to take a driver improvement class, traffic school.

There is also a provision in the South Carolina law that allows for a driver to reduce points on their license by four (4) upon successful completion of an approved defensive driving course. Only one such reduction in a 3 year period is permitted under this state law though.
