Do I qualify for workers’ compensation even if my injury was not the fault of my employer?

Yes, you certainly do. Workers’ compensation is a blanket protection for South Carolina workers that does not require you to demonstrate negligence on the part of your employer. Any injury that occurs in the workplace or that is attributable to the execution of job-related duties is covered, as is any illness that can be traced to your job.
