The 1904 South Carolina United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 8, 1904 to select seven Representatives for two-year terms from the state of South Carolina. All five incumbents who ran were re-elected and the open seats in the 2nd congressional district and 6th congressional district were retained by the Democrats. The composition of the state delegation thus remained solely Democratic.
