I-26 enters South Carolina just northeast of [[Landrum, South Carolina|Landrum]], traveling southeast. The first major city along its route is [[Spartanburg, South Carolina|Spartanburg]], where it intersects [[Interstate 85|I-85]]. Traveling through the [[Sumter National Forest]], it connects with [[Newberry, South Carolina|Newberry]] before entering the [[Columbia metropolitan area, South Carolina|Columbia metropolitan area]], where it connects to the southern terminus of [[Interstate 77|I-77]] in [[Cayce, South Carolina|Cayce]].

I-26 continues southeast to [[Orangeburg County, South Carolina|Orangeburg County]] where it intersects with [[Interstate 95|I-95]]. Between Cayce and [[Orangeburg, South Carolina|Orangeburg]], the highway goes up and down a few very long hills averaging about {{convert|100|ft|m}}. After I-95, the highway travels southeast over flat plains with little urbanization past [[Summerville, South Carolina|Summerville]] until it reaches its eastern terminus in [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]].

I-26 is deemed a hurricane evacuation route in South Carolina. During hurricane evacuation, [[Contraflow lane reversal|lane reversal]] on I-26 will occur between its junctions with [[Interstate 526|I-526]] in Charleston and I-77 in [[Columbia, South Carolina|Columbia]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 2010 |title=Highway Evacuations in Selected Metropolitan Areas: Assessment of Impediments |url=https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/tim/ |url-status=deviated |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170213233046/https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/eto_tim_pse/reports/2010_cong_evac_study/fhwahop10059.pdf |archive-date=February 13, 2017 |access-date=August 9, 2023 |publisher=[[Federal Highway Administration]]}}</ref> This is to aid travelers leaving the Charleston area.
