1932 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina

none

The 1932 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina were held on November 8, 1932, to select six representatives for two-year terms from the state of South Carolina. The state lost a seat from redistricting that occurred from the 1930 census. Four incumbents were re-elected and the two open seats were retained by the Democrats. The composition of the state delegation thus remained solely Democratic.

1st congressional district

Incumbent Democratic Congressman Thomas S. McMillan of the 1st congressional district, in office since 1925, defeated Republican challenger D.C. Sharpe.

2nd congressional district

Following the 1930 census, South Carolina lost a congressional district due to redistricting. The 2nd congressional district was split between the 1st congressional district and the old 7th congressional district. Incumbent Democratic Congressmen Butler B. Hare and Hampton P. Fulmer were placed in the same district and Hare opted to retire rather than run against Fulmer in the newly constituted 2nd congressional district. Fulmer defeated Asbury Francis Lever in the Democratic primary and Republican challenger D.A. Gardner in the general election.
