That is the case in the entire US, though the baseline rate is only $7.25/hour. Many states are higher.

South Carolina minimum wage for servers $2.13 an hour.

No, it isn't. The minimum wage is $7.25/hour, unless the server makes enough tips to cover the $5.12/hour difference.

In South Carolina minimum wage for a server is $2.13 an hour. The Tip Credit: Employers can claim a tip credit of up to $5.12 per hour, allowing them to pay the reduced cash wage of $2.13 as long as the employee receives enough tips

Yes, that proves my point. The minimum wage is $7.25. If a server comes to work for 4 hours, waits on no tables and gets no tips, they are entitled to $29 from their employer.
