The House has established a portal for submission of proposed redistricting maps.

This appears to be the preferred route for the transmission of maps. The portal is structured like that in use by the Senate and is available at:

League of Women Voters of South Carolina  criteria:

Drawing new district lines at all levels following the decennial census to reflect strict anti-gerrymandering standards. We believe that criteria for the map-drawing process:
 
  • should exclude partisan and incumbent protection
  • should not be drawn with the intention of reducing competitiveness
  • should avoid splitting counties and precincts when possible
