Having an attorney protects you from being taken advantage of by the insurance carrier handling the claim.
A Virginia attorney can represent you in negotiations withe the liability carrier of the defendant driver.
However, if negotiations are not successful the case would then need to be referred to an attorney licensed to practice in South Carolina, where suit would need to be filed.
