Established in 1937 as a renumbering of SC 163, it traveled from U.S. Route 321 (US 321) in York to the North Carolina state line in Lake Wylie. In 1956, SC 49 was extended southwest to its current southern terminus at US 221 in Watts Mills replacing SC 91 from York to Monarch, SC 92 from Monarch to Cross Anchor, and SC 30 from Cross Anchor to Watts Mills. In 1960 or 1961, SC 49 was rerouted from Lockhart to Mount Tabor. At an unknown date, SC 49 was rerouted north around downtown Union. One previous SC 49 existed from around 1927–1935, from Myrtle Beach to the North Carolina state line in Little River. In 1932, most of SC 49 north of Myrtle Beach was replaced by US 117; by 1935, the rest of SC 49 (and US 117) was replaced by US 17. Major intersections
