Here's a link to the Columbia branch.
https://my.lwv.org/south-carolina/columbia-area

They report on important ballot initiatives and you can put in your address to see a sample ballot. They have information on the candidates, although not all candidates reply to their surveys, most Dems do.
This is more important for primaries to learn about the candidates, not so much for Dems in the general election, except the school board which is often non partisan. I look at the website for each school board candidate, rule many out based on their rhetoric.

Welcome to the Carolinas! I'm in NC, about 2 hours north of you.
