The 1924 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina were held on November 4, 1924, to select seven Representatives for two-year terms from the state of South Carolina. Five incumbents were re-elected and the two open seats were retained by the Democrats. The composition of the state delegation thus remained solely Democratic.
Incumbent Democratic Congressman W. Turner Logan of the 1st congressional district, in office since 1921, was defeated in the Democratic primary by Thomas S. McMillan. He defeated Republican challenger Jesse E. Beard in the general election.
