You can probably sue in either. You should sue in the jurisdiction most favorable to you, assuming that your ex is subject to jurisdiction there. Since you live in Oklahoma, that would be the jurisdiction to choose (why would you want to have to travel to SC for this case?) and since the dispute arises out of a contract which was executed and at least partly performed in Oklahoma, Oklahoma can probably exercise jurisdiction over your ex in connection with this claim, even if he no longer has any further contacts with Oklahoma.
