COMMON STOCK

SCANA INVESTOR PLUS PLAN

PROSPECTUS

SCANA Corporation (“SCANA”) hereby offers participation in its SCANA Investor Plus Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is designed to provide investors with a convenient way to purchase shares of SCANA common stock and to reinvest in SCANA common stock all or a portion (not less than 10%) of the cash dividends paid on their SCANA common stock.

This prospectus relates to 4,049,962 shares of SCANA common stock registered for purchase pursuant to the Plan.

The Plan may purchase shares on the open market or directly from SCANA. The price of shares purchased on the open market for an investment date will be the weighted average purchase price (including commissions and any related service charges and taxes) of all shares purchased for the Plan for that investment date. The price of shares purchased directly from SCANA for an investment date will be the average of the high and low sales prices of SCANA common stock (for purchases other than pursuant to Requests for Waiver, the average on the trading day immediately preceding the investment date is used, and for purchases pursuant to Requests for Waiver, the average on the investment date is used).

SCANA common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the trading symbol “SCG.”

Investing in SCANA common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” on page 14 of this prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is October 11, 2013.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

When this prospectus uses the words “SCANA,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” they refer to SCANA Corporation, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

SCANA has appointed Wells Fargo Shareowner Services as the Plan Administrator (“Plan Administrator”).This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock pursuant to the Plan. All shares of our common stock sold under the Plan will be sold under that registration statement.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the Plan. The registration statement we filed with the SEC includes exhibits that provide more detail on descriptions of the matters discussed in this prospectus. Please carefully read this prospectus, together with the registration statement, the exhibits thereto and the additional information regarding us, our business and the risks we face in our business and operations before making an investment decision.

You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different or inconsistent information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. The information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein is accurate only as of the dates such information is or was presented, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

We are not offering the common stock pursuant to the Plan in any state where the offer is not permitted. We utilize the services of a registered broker-dealer as necessary to effect securities transactions under the Plan.

PLAN FEATURES—FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Plan offers a convenient and economical way to buy, hold and sell shares of SCANA common stock. Below are some frequently asked questions and answers about the Plan:

(1)

Who is eligible to participate in the Plan? You may participate in the Plan if you are a resident of, or are organized or incorporated under, or have your principal place of business in, the United States or any of its territories or possessions. Citizens or residents of a country other than the United States, its territories and possessions are eligible to participate if their participation would not violate laws applicable to them or to SCANA.


(2)	What is the minimum initial investment for the purchase of shares by a person who is not currently a SCANA stockholder? $250


(3)	What are our minimum and maximum cash investments? Our minimum cash investment is $25 per investment and our maximum is $300,000 in the aggregate per calendar year, except that we may waive the $300,000 annual limit on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion (see “Requests for Waiver”).

(4)

How is the price of purchased shares determined? For shares purchased on the open market for an investment date, the price of your shares will be the weighted average purchase price of all shares purchased for the Plan that investment day. This will include brokerage commissions, any related service charges and taxes. For shares purchased directly from SCANA other than pursuant to Requests for Waiver (see “Requests for Waiver”), we average (rounded up to four decimal places) the high and low sales prices of SCANA common stock on the trading date prior to an investment date. For shares purchased on the open market, a commission (currently $0.06 per share) is charged. There is no commission charge if shares are purchased directly from SCANA. See “Requests for Waiver” for information regarding the prices at which shares purchased pursuant to a Request for Waiver are purchased.


(5)	What is the source of stock purchased through the Plan? At SCANA’s discretion, stock for the Plan will be purchased on the open market or directly from SCANA.

(6)

How can I purchase additional shares? Subject to minimum and maximum investment amounts, (see Question 3), additional cash investments in the SCANA Plan may be made at any time either by check or by authorizing one-time or recurring automatic bank withdrawals from a U.S. or Canadian financial institution. The dollars you invest, less any applicable commissions on open-market purchases (currently $0.06 per share) will go towards purchasing whole and fractional shares.

Check – To make an investment by check, complete and return a Transaction Request Form (attached to your account statement) together with your payment. The check must be made payable to “Shareowner Services” in U.S. dollars.

One-time or recurring automatic withdrawals – You can make a one-time, semi-monthly or monthly automatic withdrawal from a designated checking or savings account at a qualified financial institution by signing on to shareowneronline.com (see “Cash Investments—Automatic Investments”).


(7)	How often are shares purchased by the Plan? Except in the case of shares purchased pursuant to Requests for Waiver, purchases are made weekly. Shares purchased pursuant to Requests for Waiver are purchased as described in “Requests for Waiver.”

(8)

When are statements sent? A statement will be mailed to you every time you have activity in your account, such as a purchase, withdrawal or sale. In connection with purchases made pursuant to a Request for Waiver, a statement will be mailed at the end of the associated pricing period. Also, even if you have no activity in your account an annual statement will be mailed in January of each year. You should keep your statements. You will need them for tax purposes. Duplicate statements may be ordered. You may elect to have your statements and other information sent to you automatically by initiating eDelivery through shareowneronline.com.

(9)

Can I transfer shares from one account to another? You can transfer ownership, gift your shares or request a name change in your SCANA Plan account by completing and submitting a Stock Power Form. This form, along with instructions can be accessed and printed through shareowneronline.com. Please note that you must obtain a Medallion Signature Guarantee for any transfer of shares. If you need additional assistance regarding the transfer of your shares, please contact the Plan Administrator (see “Contact Information”).


(10)	How can I request a stock certificate for shares in my Plan account? All requests for stock certificates must be received in writing. You may complete and return a Transaction Request Form (attached to your account statement). Certificates cannot be issued for partial shares.


(11)	If shares are held in a brokerage account, can shareholders be part of the Plan? No. You must instruct your broker to issue your shares in direct registration book-entry form.


(12)	Are reinvested dividends taxable income? Yes. Dividends are taxable income even if they are reinvested. The Plan Administrator will mail you a 1099-DIV form or forms indicating your dividend income for the year.


(13)	Can I receive dividends in cash for shares held in a Plan account? You must reinvest at least 10% of the dividends that you receive on each share held in a Plan account, but the remainder of the dividends may be paid to you in cash. Your reinvestment options are:

Full dividend reinvestment — All cash dividends payable on shares held in the Plan, along with any shares held in certificated form or through book-entry direct registration, will be used to purchase additional shares. The participant will not receive cash dividends from SCANA; instead, all dividends will be reinvested. Whole and fractional shares will be allocated to the Plan account.

Partial dividend reinvestment by percentage — A participant may elect to reinvest a portion of the dividend and receive the remainder in cash. The percentage elected will be applied against the total shares held in the Plan, along with any shares held in certificated form or held through book-entry direct registration. A participant may elect percentages from 10%-90%, in increments of 10%. The cash portion of dividends will be sent by check unless the participant has elected to have those dividends deposited directly to a designated bank account.

You may change your reinvestment option at any time by going online, calling or sending written notice to the Plan Administrator (see “Contact Information”). Notices received on or before a dividend record date will be effective for that dividend. Notices received after a dividend record date will not be effective until after that dividend has been paid.

(14)

Can I receive my cash dividends by direct deposit? Yes. For electronic direct deposit of any dividend funds, contact the Plan Administrator to request a Direct Deposit of Dividends Authorization Form. The participant should include a voided check for checking account deposits or a deposit slip for savings account deposits from the bank account for which to set up the direct deposit. If the shares are jointly owned, all owners must sign the form.

PLAN FEES

The Plan Administrator charges certain fees to participants in connection with the Plan and reserves the right to impose or modify any or all such fees in the future. A copy of the current fee schedule is available on the Plan’s webpage at shareowneronline.com. Changes in the Plan fee schedule will be announced to participants approximately 30 days prior to the effective date. Any such change will be deemed to be accepted by participants who do not terminate participation in the Plan prior to the effective date of the change.

WHO ADMINISTERS THE PLAN

SCANA has appointed Wells Fargo Shareowner Services (the “Plan Administrator”), to serve as the administrator of the Plan. For information about the Plan, contact the Plan Administrator through shareowneronline.com, or by telephone to speak with a Shareowner Relations Specialist (see “Contact Information”).

WHO PAYS THE PLAN’S COSTS

SCANA pays all of the administrative costs of the Plan. Plan participants are responsible for brokerage commissions (currently $0.06 per share) associated with open-market purchases of shares and for brokerage commissions and fees associated with the sale of shares.

HOW TO ENROLL IN THE PLAN

If you are an existing registered shareholder:

If your shares are currently registered in your name with SCANA, not held by your broker or bank in their name, you can enroll through shareowneronline.com or by submitting an Account Authorization Form by mail (see “Contact Information”).

If you are a new investor:

If you do not already own SCANA shares registered in your name, you can enroll in the Plan by submitting a completed Account Authorization Form along with a payment of not less than $250 for your initial investment. You may enroll through shareowneronline.com and authorize an automatic withdrawal from your bank account, or you may enroll through the mail by sending the Account Authorization Form along with a check (see “Contact Information”).

Below is some important information about dividend record dates and dividend payment dates that will affect reinvestment of your dividends. SCANA’s Board of Directors sets dividend record dates and payment dates on a quarterly basis; however, the following approximate dates have generally applied in the past:



Record Date	Payment Date
around December 10	around January 1
around March 10	around April 1
around June 10	around July 1
around September 10	around October 1

If your account is enrolled for reinvestment of dividends before a record date, your dividends can be reinvested on the next dividend payment date. For instance, if you enroll prior to December 10, your January 1 dividend can be reinvested.

What about brokerage accounts? If your SCANA common stock is held in a brokerage account you must have the stockbroker have the stock issued to you in your own name if you want the shares to participate in the Plan.

CASH INVESTMENTS

Purchases and Timing

Any initial, recurring, or one-time optional cash investment will be invested within five (5) trading days, and no later than 35 trading days, except where postponement is necessary to comply with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other applicable provisions of securities law. In making purchases for the participant’s account, the Plan Administrator may commingle the participant’s funds with those of other participants of the Plan. Purchases may be subject to certain fees and conditions (see “Plan Fees”).

Checks – To make an investment by mail, payments must be in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. or Canadian financial institution. Cash, money orders, traveler’s checks or third party checks are not accepted.

Automatic Investments — A participant may set up a one-time, semi-monthly or monthly automatic withdrawal from a designated bank account. The

request may be submitted online or by sending an Account Authorization Form by mail (see “Contact Information”). Requests are processed and become effective as promptly as administratively possible. Once the automatic withdrawal is initiated, funds will be debited from the participant’s designated bank account on or about the 10th or 25th of each month as you elect for monthly withdrawals, or on or about the 10th and 25th of each month for semi-monthly withdrawals, and will be invested in SCANA common stock within five trading days. Changes or a discontinuation of automatic withdrawals can be made online, by telephone or by using the Transaction Request Form attached to the participant’s statement. To be effective with respect to a particular investment date, a change request must be received by the Plan Administrator at least 15 trading days prior to the investment date.

Dividend Reinvestment – The Plan Administrator will invest SCANA dividend funds as soon as administratively possible and no later than 30 trading days, following the dividend payable date.

Participants’ funds held by the Plan Administrator will not earn interest. A refund request for an optional cash investment made by check must be received in writing by the Plan Administrator not less than two (2) trading days before such amount is to be invested.

In the case of each purchase, the price at which the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to have acquired SCANA common stock for the participant’s account shall be the weighted average price of all shares purchased plus any per share fees. Depending on the number of shares being purchased and current trading volumes in the shares, purchases may be executed in multiple transactions that may occur on more than one day. The affiliated broker will receive a commission on these purchases. The Plan Administrator will hold the common stock for the benefit of all participants together in its name or in the name of the nominee.

The Plan Administrator shall have no liability in connection with any inability to purchase common stock, the timing of any purchases or the value of SCANA common stock acquired for the participant’s account.

If any optional cash investment, including payment by check or automatic withdrawal, is returned for any reason, the Plan Administrator will remove from the participant’s account any common stock purchased with such funds, and will sell these shares. The Plan Administrator may also sell additional common stock in the account to recover a returned funds fee for each optional cash investment returned unpaid for any reason and may sell additional shares as necessary to cover any market loss incurred by the Plan Administrator.

During the period that an optional cash investment is pending, the collected funds in the possession of the Plan Administrator may be invested in certain Permitted Investments. For purposes of this Plan, “Permitted Investments” shall mean any money market mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act (including those of an affiliate of the Plan Administrator or for which the Plan Administrator or any of its affiliates provides management advisory or other services) consisting entirely of (i) direct obligations of the United States of America; or (ii) obligations fully guaranteed by the United States of America. The risk of any loss from such Permitted Investments shall be the responsibility of the Plan Administrator. Investment income from such Permitted Investments shall be retained by the Plan Administrator.

You may purchase additional shares of SCANA common stock with cash investments. Once you are enrolled in the Plan, you may send investments to Wells Fargo Shareowner Services for at least $25 per investment and not more than $300,000 in the aggregate per calendar year, except that SCANA may waive the $300,000 limit on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion (see “Requests for Waiver”). All checks must be made payable to “Shareowner Services” in U.S. dollars. A fee will be charged against your Plan account for each check or one-time, semi-monthly or monthly automatic withdrawal from a designated bank account that is returned or declined by the bank for any reason.

WHEN SHARES ARE PURCHASED

Shares are purchased weekly for purchases other than pursuant to Requests for Waiver. See “Requests for Waiver” for a description of purchases pursuant to Requests for Waiver.

REQUESTS FOR WAIVER

If you wish to make an optional cash payment, including an initial cash payment, in excess of $300,000 in any year and be eligible for a potential discount from the market price, you must obtain our prior written approval. If you are interested in obtaining such approval, you must submit a Request for Waiver. A Request for Waiver Form is available on SCANA’s website if you wish to submit a Request for Waiver. If you are not currently a Plan participant, you must also submit an Account Authorization Form (available at shareowneronline.com). The information on SCANA’s website is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and you should not consider it part of this prospectus. Completed Request for Waiver forms should be transmitted to us using the method indicated on the form. We will notify you as to whether your Request for Waiver has been granted, either in whole or in part. If the Request for Waiver is granted in part, we will advise you of the maximum amount that will be accepted from you in connection with the purchase. If a request is approved, we must receive the funds for the purchase prior to or on the applicable date specified by us for the relevant pricing period (which typically will be by 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, one business day prior to the applicable pricing period). If you do not receive a response from us in connection with a Request for Waiver, we will be deemed to have denied the request.

We may alter, amend, supplement or waive, in our sole discretion, the time periods and/or other parameters relating to optional cash payments in excess of $300,000 per year made by one or more participants in the Plan, at any time and from time to time, prior to the granting of any Request for Waiver. For more information regarding a particular pricing period (including applicable pricing period start dates), please contact SCANA.

We have the sole discretion whether to approve any request to make an optional cash payment in excess of the $300,000 annual maximum. We may approve Requests for Waiver in order of receipt or by any other method that we determine to be appropriate. We also may determine the amount that may be invested pursuant to a waiver. In deciding whether to approve a Request for Waiver, we may consider, among other things, the following factors:


•	whether, at the time of such request, the Plan is acquiring shares of common stock directly from us or in the open market;


•	our need for additional funds;


•	our desire to obtain additional funds through the sale of common stock as compared to other sources of funds;


•	the purchase price likely to apply to any sale of common stock;


•	the extent and nature of your prior participation in the Plan;


•	the number of shares of common stock you hold; and


•	the total amount of optional cash payments in excess of $300,000 per calendar year for which Requests for Waiver have been submitted.

Pricing of Shares Purchased Pursuant to a Request for Waiver

Shares purchased pursuant to a Request for Waiver will be purchased directly from us and not on the open market. Purchases of shares made pursuant to a Request for Waiver will be priced as follows:

•

Investments for which a Request for Waiver has been approved will be made subject to a “pricing period,” which generally will consist of one to 10 separate days during which trading of our common stock is reported on the NYSE. Each of these separate days will be an “investment date,” and an equal proportion of the optional cash payment will be invested on each trading day during such pricing

period, subject to the qualifications listed below. The purchase price for shares acquired on a particular investment date will be equal to the average of the high and low sales prices, rounded up to four decimal places, of our common stock as reported by Bloomberg LP (or, if Bloomberg, LP is no longer providing this information, another authoritative source) for the trading day less any applicable discount. For example, if an optional cash payment of $500,000 is made pursuant to a Request for Waiver and the pricing period is 10 days, the number of shares will be calculated for each day of the pricing period by taking a pro rata portion of the total optional cash payment for each day of the pricing period, which would be $50,000, and dividing it by the volume-weighted average price of shares of our common stock, rounded up to four decimal places, as traded on the NYSE during regular NYSE hours as reported by Bloomberg LP less any applicable discount. Funds for an optional cash payment made pursuant to a Request for Waiver must be received by Wells Fargo Shareowner Services by wire transfer not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the business day immediately preceding the first day of the pricing period.

•

SCANA may establish a minimum, or “threshold,” price for any pricing period that the volume- weighted average price, rounded to four decimal places, of our common stock must equal or exceed during each trading day of the pricing period for investments made pursuant to a Request for Waiver. If the threshold price is not satisfied for a trading day in the pricing period, then we will exclude from the pricing period such trading day and refund that day’s proportional investment amount. For example, if the threshold price is not met for two of the trading days in a 10-day pricing period, then we will return 20% of the funds submitted in connection with a Request for Waiver, without interest, unless we have activated the pricing period extension feature

for the pricing period, as described below. We are not required to notify you that a threshold price has been established for any pricing period. The establishment of the threshold price and the possible return of a portion of the payment applies only to optional cash payments exceeding $300,000 per year made pursuant to Requests for Waiver. Setting a threshold price for a pricing period will not affect the setting of a threshold price for any other pricing period. We may waive our right to set a threshold price for any particular pricing period.

•

For each pricing period, we may establish a discount from the market price for shares purchased pursuant to a Request for Waiver. This waiver discount, if any, will range from 0% to 4% of the purchase price and may vary for each pricing period and each participant. The waiver discount, if any, will be established in our sole discretion after a review of current market conditions, the level of participation in the Plan, the attractiveness of obtaining additional funds through the sale of common stock as compared to other sources of funds and our need for additional funds. Setting a waiver discount for a particular pricing period will not affect the setting of a waiver discount for any subsequent pricing period. The waiver discount, if any, will apply only to the portion of the optional cash payment that exceeds the $300,000 per-year threshold.

•

SCANA may elect to activate for any particular pricing period a pricing period extension feature that will provide that the initial pricing period be extended by the number of days that the threshold price is not satisfied, subject to a maximum of five trading days. If we elect to activate the pricing period extension feature and the threshold price is satisfied for any additional day that has been added to the initial pricing period, that day will be included as one of the trading days for the pricing period instead of the day on which the threshold price was not met. For example,

if the determined pricing period is 10 days, and the threshold price is not satisfied for three out of those 10 days in the initial pricing period, and we had previously announced that the pricing period extension feature was activated, then the pricing period will be automatically extended, and if the threshold price is satisfied on the next three trading days (or a subset thereof), then those three days (or subset thereof) would become investment dates instead of the three days on which the threshold price was not met. As a result, because there were 10 trading days during the initial and extended pricing periods on which the threshold price was satisfied, all of the funds that were included with a Request for Waiver would be invested.


•	Newly issued shares purchased pursuant to a Request for Waiver will be posted to your account within three trading days of each separate investment date beginning on the first investment date in the relevant pricing period and ending on the final investment date in the relevant pricing period, with an equal amount being invested on each day, subject to the qualifications set forth above.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT DATES

Dividend Record Date: If you own stock on a record date, you will receive the next dividend payment.

Dividend Payment Date: Date the dividend is paid.

Investment Dates: At least once every 5 business days other than to Requests for Waiver. Varies for investments pursuant to Requests for Waiver (see “Requests for Waiver”).

Investment Due Date: For investments other than pursuant to Requests for Waiver, two full trading days prior to the investment date. For investments pursuant to Requests for Waiver, 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the business day immediately preceding the applicable pricing period.

Sale Dates: Your shares may be sold at least once every trading day if we have received requests to sell shares.

PRICE OF PURCHASED SHARES

The price of shares purchased on the open market for any investment date will be the weighted average of the purchase prices, including a brokerage commission, any related service charges and applicable taxes, for all shares purchased for the Plan for that investment date.

The price of shares purchased directly from SCANA for an investment date will be the average of the high and low sales prices of our common stock, rounded to four decimal places, on the New York Stock Exchange as reported by Bloomberg LP. For purchases other than pursuant to Requests for Waiver, the average on the trading day immediately preceding the investment date is used, and for purchases pursuant to Requests for Waiver, the average on the investment date is used.

As you know, the price of common stock fluctuates daily, and we have no control over this. You must bear the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of common stock.

We allocate shares to three decimal places, so be aware that there will usually be a partial share in your Plan account. This practice allows full investment of your dividends and cash investments.

PLAN STATEMENTS

Statements will be mailed as follows:


(1)	after each quarterly dividend is paid;


(2)	after investments for those who send in cash investments other than pursuant to a Request for Waiver;


(3)	after the end of the applicable pricing period for those who send in a cash investment pursuant to a Request for Waiver;


(4)	after any other account activity such as a sale or withdrawal of shares; and


(5)	in January of each year.

The statements show the date of each purchase, the amount invested, the share price paid and the number of shares purchased with each investment, as well as the accumulated total shares held in your Plan

account. The statements also show any withdrawals or sales.

You may elect to have your statements and other information sent to you automatically by initiating eDelivery through shareowneronline.com. Statements give you the original cost of the shares. You will need this cost basis to determine gain or loss if you sell your shares. Duplicate statements may be ordered.

Your certificated shares (shares represented by actual stock certificates) will show on your statements reflecting dividend reinvestments and on statements mailed to you when you make optional cash payments.

A 1099-DIV form or forms will be mailed by January 31 of each year reporting the SCANA dividends received by you during the prior year. In addition, if you sell shares through the Plan, a 1099-B will be mailed by February 15 of each year, reporting the sales proceeds. All 1099-DIV and 1099-B forms will be filed with the IRS. You will need these forms for your income tax records.

HOW TO DEPOSIT SHARES INTO THE PLAN

You can deposit SCANA stock certificates registered in your name at any time. The Plan Administrator will provide safekeeping of your shares at no cost to you, including when you first enroll. To use this service, you must send your certificates to the Plan Administrator with a properly completed Transaction Request Form attached to your statement (see “Contact Information”).

Certificated shares that you deposit with the Plan Administrator are credited to your Plan account and thereafter are treated as if they were acquired under the Plan. You are responsible for maintaining your own records of the cost basis of certificated shares deposited with the Plan Administrator. By using the share safekeeping feature, you no longer bear the risks associated with loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates.

Because the participant bears the risk of loss in sending stock certificate(s), it is recommended that the participant sends them registered, insured for at least 2% of the current market value and request a return receipt.

Optional Mail Loss Insurance

Choosing registered, express or certified mail alone will not provide full protection should stock certificates mailed to you be lost or stolen in the mail. Mail loss insurance provides the coverage needed to replace and reissue the shares should they become lost or stolen in the mail. The Plan Administrator can provide loss insurance for certificates being returned for conversion to book-entry form. Replacement transaction fees may also apply.

To take advantage of the optional mail loss insurance, simply include a check in the amount of $10.00, made payable to ‘WFSS Surety Program’, along with the certificates and instructions. Choose an accountable mail delivery service such as Federal Express, United Parcel Service, DHL, Express Mail, Purolator, TNT, or United States Postal Service Registered Mail. Any one shipping package may not contain certificates exceeding a total value of $100,000. The value of certificate shares is based on the closing market price of the common stock on the trading day prior to the documented mail date.

Claims related to lost certificates under this service must be made within 60 days of the documented delivery service mail date. A copy of the certificate(s) mailed, along with proof that it was sent by trackable mail should be submitted with the claim. This is specific coverage for the purpose of converting shares to book-entry form and the surety is not intended to cover certificates being tendered for certificate breakdown or exchange for other certificates.

HOW TO OBTAIN SHARE CERTIFICATES

You may obtain a stock certificate for any or all of the whole shares held in your Plan account at any time. Certificates cannot be issued for partial shares.

You may request a certificate by contacting the Plan Administrator (see “Contact Information”). You may use the bottom of any statement for this purpose, or write a letter. A fee will be charged for issuing a replacement certificate.

SALES OF SHARES

Sales are usually made through an affiliated broker, who will receive brokerage commissions. Typically, the shares are sold through the exchange on which the common shares of SCANA are traded. Depending on the number of SCANA shares to be sold and current trading volume, sale transactions may be completed in multiple transactions and over the course of more than one day. All sales are subject to market conditions, system availability, restrictions and other factors. The actual sale date, time or price received for any shares sold through the Plan cannot be guaranteed.

Participants may instruct the Plan Administrator to sell shares under the Plan through a Batch Order, Market Order, Day Limit Order, Good ‘Til Date Limit Order, Good‘Til Canceled Limit Order or Stop Order.

•

Batch Order (online, telephone, mail) – The Plan Administrator will combine each request to sell through the Plan with other Plan participant sale requests for a Batch Order. Shares are then periodically submitted in bulk to a broker for sale on the open market. Shares will be sold no later than five business days (except where deferral is necessary under state or federal regulations). Bulk sales may be executed in multiple transactions and over more than one day depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volumes. Once entered, a Batch Order request cannot be canceled.

•

Market Order (online or telephone) – The participant’s request to sell shares in a Market Order will be at the prevailing market price when the trade is executed. If such an order is placed during market hours, the Plan Administrator will promptly submit the shares to a broker for sale on the open market. Once entered, a Market Order request cannot be canceled. Sales requests submitted near the close of the market may be executed on the next trading day, along with other requests received after market close.

•

Day Limit Order (online or telephone) – The participant’s request to sell shares in a Day Limit Order will be promptly submitted by the Plan Administrator to a broker. The broker will execute as a Market Order when and if the stock reaches, or exceeds the specified price on the day the order was placed (for orders placed outside of market hours, the next trading day). The order is automatically canceled if the price is not met by the end of that trading day. Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volumes, the order may only be partially filled and the remainder of the order canceled. Once entered, a Day Limit Order request cannot be canceled by the participant.

•

Good ‘Til Date (GTD) Limit Order/Good ‘Til Canceled (GTC) Limit Order (online or telephone) – A GTD/GTC Limit Order request will be promptly submitted by the Plan Administrator to a broker. The broker will execute as a Market Order when and if the stock reaches, or exceeds the specified price at any time while the order remains open (up to the date requested or 90 days for GTC). Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volumes, sales may be executed in multiple transactions and may be traded on more than one day. The order or any unexecuted portion will be automatically canceled if the price is not met by the end of the order period. The order may also be canceled by the applicable stock exchange or the participant.

•

Stop Order (online or telephone) – The Plan Administrator will promptly submit a participant’s request to sell shares in a Stop Order to a broker. A sale will be executed when the stock reaches a specified price, at which time the Stop Order becomes a Market Order and the sale will be at the prevailing market price when the trade is executed. The price specified in the order must be below the current market price (generally used to limit a market loss).

Sales proceeds will be net of any fees to be paid by the participant (see “Plan Fees”). The Plan Administrator will deduct any fees or applicable tax withholding from the sale proceeds. Sales processed on accounts without a valid Form W-9 for U.S. citizens or Form W-8BEN for non-U.S. citizens will be subject to Federal Backup Withholding. This tax can be avoided by furnishing the appropriate and valid form prior to the sale. Forms are available online at shareowneronline.com.

A check for the proceeds of the sale of shares (in U.S. dollars), less applicable taxes and fees, will generally be mailed by first class mail four business days after trade date. If a participant submits a request to sell all or part of the Plan shares, and the participant requests net proceeds to be automatically deposited to a checking or savings account, the participant must provide a voided blank check for a checking account or blank savings deposit slip for a savings account. If the participant is unable to provide a voided check or deposit slip, the participant’s written request must have the participant’s signature(s) medallion guaranteed by an eligible financial institution for direct deposit. Requests for automatic deposit of sale proceeds that do not provide the required documentation will not be processed and a check for the net proceeds will be issued.

A participant who wishes to sell shares currently held in certificate form may send them to the Plan Administrator for deposit and then proceed with the sale. To sell shares through a broker of their choice, the participant may request the broker to transfer shares electronically from the Plan account to their brokerage account. Alternatively, a stock certificate can be requested that the participant can deliver to their broker.

SCANA’s share price may fluctuate between the time the sale request is received and the time the sale is completed on the open market. The Plan Administrator shall not be liable for any claim arising out of failure to sell on a certain date or at a specific price. Neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates will provide any investment recommendations or investment advice with respect to transactions made through the Plan. This risk should be evaluated by the participant and is a risk that is borne solely by the participant.

SCANA’s Insider Trading Policy provides that insider participants may not trade in SCANA’s common stock if in possession of material, nonpublic information about SCANA. Share sales by employees, Affiliates and Section 16 officers must be made in compliance with SCANA’s Insider Trading Policy.

The Plan Administrator requires signatures of all owners to sell shares, Registered owners must sign as their name(s) appears on their account.

Please mail stock certificates by certified or registered mail for safety.

The Plan Administrator sells shares on the open market at prevailing market prices. The price you will receive for your shares is the weighted average sales price of all shares sold by the Plan Administrator on the day of sale minus any fees and brokerage commission. We will mail the proceeds of your sale to you by first class mail. Sales are reported at year-end to both you and the Internal Revenue Service.

Selling participants should be aware that the share price of SCANA common stock may fall or rise during the period between a request for sale, its receipt by the Plan Administrator, and the ultimate sale in the open market. You should evaluate these possibilities while deciding whether and when to sell any shares through the Plan. The price risk will be borne solely by you.

The Plan Administrator will make every effort to process your sale order on the next business day following receipt of your properly completed request (sale requests involving multiple transactions may experience a delay). The Plan Administrator will not be liable for any claim arising out of failure to sell stock on a certain date or at a specific price. This risk should be evaluated by the participant and is a risk that is borne solely by the participant.

If submitting a request to sell all or part of your shares, and you are requesting net proceeds to be automatically deposited to a bank checking or savings account, you must provide a voided blank check for a checking account or blank savings deposit slip for a savings account. If you are unable to provide a voided check or deposit slip, your written request must have your signature(s) medallion guaranteed by an eligible financial institution for direct deposit. Requests for

automatic deposit of sale proceeds that do not provide the required documentation will not be honored and a check for the net proceeds will be issued.

TRANSFERS AND GIFTS OF SHARES

To authorize a transfer or gift of SCANA shares, a participant must submit a Stock Power Form with instructions to transfer ownership of shares, to the Plan Administrator. The Form can be found on the Plan’s website at shareowneronline.com. For additional assistance regarding the transfer of Plan shares, contact the Plan Administrator (see “Contact Information”). The Form will require a “Medallion Signature Guarantee” by a financial institution. A Medallion Signature Guarantee is a special guarantee for securities and may be obtained through a financial institution such as a broker, bank, savings and loan association, or credit union who participates in the Medallion Signature Guarantee program. The guarantee ensures that the individual requesting the transfer of securities is the owner of those securities. Most banks and brokers participate in the Medallion Signature Guarantee program.

If a participant’s request to transfer all Plan shares in an account is received between a dividend record date and payable date, the request will be processed. However, on the payable date, any additional shares from a dividend reinvestment will be added to the account and the participant will need to submit a written request if they wish to transfer the additional shares.

If a participant’s investments or transfers are made to an existing account, dividends on the shares credited to such investments or transfers will be invested in accordance with the elections made by the existing account owner.

TERMINATING PARTICIPATION

You can terminate your participation in the Plan at any time by contacting the Plan Administrator. You can submit your request for termination either online, by telephone or through the mail (see “Contact Information”). For your convenience, a Transaction Request Form is attached to your Plan statements. Complete the form by filling in the required fields

and indicating your intention to terminate your participation in the Plan. Following termination, all future dividends will be paid to you in cash, unless you rejoin the Plan. If your request to terminate from the Plan is received on or after a dividend record date, but before the dividend payment date, your termination will be processed as soon as practicable, and a separate dividend check will be mailed to you. Future dividends will be paid in cash, unless you rejoin the plan.

Retain shares – If you elect to keep your shares, the whole shares held in your Plan balance will be moved to book-entry direct registration. Any fractional shares will be sold at the market price, and you will receive a check for the proceeds (less any transaction fees and commissions — see “Plan Fees”).

Sell shares – If you choose to sell all of your shares, your sale proceeds, less applicable taxes and transaction fees and commissions, will be remitted to you via check. Or you can choose to have them directly deposited into your bank account.

If you terminate your participation in the Plan but do not indicate your preference to retain or sell your shares, the Plan shares will be moved to book-entry Direct Registration System (DRS) form until the Plan Administrator receives further instructions.

The Plan Administrator may terminate your participation in the Plan at any time upon prior notice to you.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PLAN PARTICIPATION

You are advised to consult your own advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan. The following is a brief summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan. It does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all tax consequences of participation in the Plan. This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a participant in light of the participant’s particular circumstances or to participants that are subject to special rules.

Dividends paid by SCANA Corporation are considered taxable income whether paid in cash or reinvested. Any discount on the acquisition of shares will be reported as dividend income. The Plan Administrator will report to you and the Internal Revenue Service the amount of dividends paid to you in cash or reinvested for you on a Form 1099-DIV. For nonresident aliens or non-U.S. corporations, partnerships or other entities, the Plan Administrator reports dividend income on a Form 1042-S.

You will not realize a gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the transfer of shares to the Plan or the withdrawal of whole shares from the Plan. You will, however, generally realize a gain or loss on the sale of any of your shares (including the receipt of cash for a fractional share) held in the Plan. The amount of gain or loss generally will be the difference between the amount you realize from the sale of the shares and your tax basis in those shares. Such gain or loss on the sale of whole or fractional shares will be long-term or short-term depending on your holding period for the shares. Your holding period for shares acquired through the Plan will begin on the day after the date the shares are credited to your account.

Your tax basis in shares acquired through the Plan, whether with reinvested dividends or with cash payments, will generally equal the amount paid for the shares, including any brokerage fee or commission, plus, to the extent applicable, the amount of any dividend that you are treated as having received as a result of any waiver discount.

The tax basis of shares acquired after January 1, 2012 will be reported by the Plan Administrator in accordance with U. S. Treasury Department regulations. We expect that the default method of determining cost basis will be FIFO – First In, First Out. Subject to certain requirements, participants may designate their preference for a different method of determining the tax basis of shares by identifying this preference in writing to the Plan Administrator. If you sell shares through the Plan Administrator, a Form 1099-B reporting the proceeds from the sale will be sent to you and the Internal Revenue Service.

Dividends on shares and proceeds from the sale of shares held in the Plan generally will be subject to backup withholding tax (currently at a rate of 28%) unless you provide a properly completed IRS Form W-9 to the Plan Administrator. In addition, if you are a nonresident alien or a non-U.S. corporation, partnership or other entity, additional U.S. income tax withholding that is not fully described here may apply. Any amounts withheld will be deducted from the dividends and/or from the proceeds of any sale of shares, and the remaining amount will be reinvested or paid as you have instructed.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain U.S. participants that are individuals, estates or trusts will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax, in addition to regular tax on income and gains, on some or all of their “net investment income” which would generally include dividends or capital gains from the sale or other disposition of the shares, less certain deductions.

Account statements, which contain a detailed record of your purchase and sales, should be retained for tax purposes to assist with determining cost basis.

The above tax information is provided only as a guide. Since each stockholder’s financial situation is different, you should consult your individual tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of participation in the Plan.

STOCK SPLITS, STOCK DIVIDENDS AND RIGHTS OFFERINGS

Any stock dividends or split shares distributed by SCANA on your Plan shares will be added to your account. Dividends earned by these shares will be reinvested unless you notify the Plan Administrator to the contrary. If SCANA should determine to offer securities through a rights offering, you will receive rights based upon the total number of whole shares in your account.

VOTING RIGHTS

You have the right to exercise all voting rights for the whole shares credited to your Plan account. You may vote in person or by proxy. Your proxy card will show

the number of shares you own including both your Plan shares and any certificated or book-entry shares registered in the exact same name and social security number.

If no instructions are received on your signed and dated proxy card, all your shares will be voted in accordance with recommendations of SCANA’s management. If you do not return the proxy card or don’t sign it, your shares will not be voted.

LIABILITY LIMITATION

Neither SCANA nor the Plan Administrator will be liable for any act (or omission to act) done in good faith. This applies without limitation to the prices at which your shares are purchased or sold, when purchases or sales are made and the fluctuations in market price.

You are cautioned that this prospectus does not represent a change in SCANA’s dividend policy or a guarantee of future dividends. Dividends depend upon SCANA’s earnings, financial requirements, governmental regulations and other factors.

You must recognize that neither SCANA nor the Plan Administrator can assure you of a profit or protect you against a loss on shares of common stock purchased or sold through the Plan.

CHANGES TO THE PLAN

SCANA reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time in whole or in part. Notice of any such amendment, modification or termination will be mailed to you.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988 permits indemnification of the registrant's directors and officers in a variety of circumstances. Under Sections 33-8-510, 33-8-550 and 33-8-560 of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, a South Carolina corporation is authorized generally to indemnify its directors and officers in civil or criminal actions if they acted in good faith and reasonably believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. In addition, the registrant carries insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees or agents. The registrant's restated articles of incorporation provide that no director of the registrant shall be liable to the registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director occurring after April 26, 1989, except for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve gross negligence, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) certain unlawful distributions or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and certain of its officers and its subsidiaries’ officers. The indemnification agreements generally provide that the registrant will indemnify each of the covered directors and officers for claims arising in such person's capacity as a director, officer, employee or other agent of the registrant or its subsidiaries, provided that, among other things, such director and/or officer acted in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also provide for payment for or reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred by an indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding under certain circumstances.

Item 16. Exhibits.

Exhibits required to be filed with this registration statement are listed in the exhibit index immediately following the signature page. Certain of such exhibits which have heretofore been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are designated by reference to their exhibit numbers in prior filings are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date it is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:


(i)	Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;


(ii)	Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;


(iii)	The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and


(iv)	Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
