Legislative bill overview

H 3874 is a workers' compensation bill introduced in South Carolina's House of Representatives by Jeff Johnson. The bill was introduced on January 30, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Labor, Commerce and Industry for review.

Why is this important

Workers' compensation systems affect millions of employees and employers across South Carolina by establishing how workplace injuries are handled, benefits are distributed, and disputes are resolved. Changes to these rules can significantly impact both worker protections and employer costs.

Potential points of contention

  • Benefit level adjustments – Depending on proposed changes, workers may receive higher or lower compensation for injuries, or employers may face increased insurance costs
  • Claim approval processes – Modifications to eligibility requirements or dispute resolution could make claims easier or harder to file and win
  • Employer liability and insurance – Alterations to coverage requirements or premium structures could shift financial burdens between businesses and workers
