Legal Answer
I'm not sure what your asking for. Do you want to know what the law says about what constitutes the offense, what the penalties are, what the process is?
I assume your asking about the penalties as that is what most people want to know.
Three years ago, before they changed the law, a Second Offense carried up to one year in jail, fine, license suspension, high risk insurance (called SR-22), and an alcohol treatment program. The fine amount varies from court to court and most will add on court costs and assessments.
I don't know if you have an attorney or not. My firm is in Horry County but I accept cases all around the state. If you have an attorney be sure to ask about getting the DUI reduced to a First Offense. Of course you have other options such as a trial.
Your welcome to call or email if you have any other questions.
