In South Carolina, "pay-if-paid" clauses between subcontractors and contractors are unenforceable. S.C. Code Ann. § 29-6-230 states that once a subcontractor has performed to the level required by the contract, he is then entitled to payment from the contractor with whom he has a contract. Payment is due to the subcontractor regardless of the payment status between the contractor and the owner, suppliers, or other subcontractors. Any agreement stating otherwise is unenforceable.
