Find some trash piles in the area. Most of the kings and the only milk I have found came from trash piles with boards/carpet/etc. strewn about. I can't be more specific than that as I am not in SC, but if you flip enough trash, you should find something.

You can try flipping rotten pieces of wood, bark, etc. Creeks can be good places to look, but you might not find your target species. Most likely you would get a lot of Nerodia. You can try road cruising at night. Just drive roads through the area and watch for snakes crossing. I normally have good luck just after nightfall, but depending on the area, temps, weather, you can sometimes find snakes all night.
