The state has reported no new cases in 42 days.
The outbreak began last fall.
Over a six-month period, nearly 1,000 people were infected with measles.
Most of them were unvaccinated children.
The virus can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia and brain swelling.
In a briefing Monday, Dr. Brandon Traxler of the South Carolina Department of Public Health said a push for vaccination helped quell the surge.
While South Carolina's outbreak is over for now, more than 20 other new outbreaks have been reported this year across the U.S.
That includes outbreaks in Texas, Florida, and Utah, each with more than 100 cases of measles.
