The 1920 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina were held on November 2, 1920, to select seven Representatives for two-year terms from the state of South Carolina. Four incumbents were re-elected and all three open seats were retained by the Democrats. The composition of the state delegation thus remained solely Democratic.
