Heading back home for the first time in 5 years with my 6.8. Gonna be hunting some family land in York Co. and may head out Lancaster as well at some point. Would a red dot and magnifier be legal?

Why wouldn't they be? Are specific types of optics restricted for hunting in other parts of the country? On private lands suppressors and FA are also legal, along with any caliber.

Some states don't allow battery powered optics.

No idea, but if you want to take a hunting virgin with you ... (subtle enough hint?)  

Have a 6.8, looking to get one of my coworkers to help me out. I'll see if he knows about red dots, as he's been here about 8 years

It's not (illegal in sc to use battery sights) I pulled up the most current version (2014-2015 season) of the dnr regs and there is no qualification at all of gun/equipment used on private land, it's like the warden told me a few years ago when I had a friend INSISTING that you could not deer hunt with anything smaller than a .24 caliber rifle (no 22-250 no .223 exc) I couldn't find anything on it in the regs so I called the hq in Columbia, spoke with a warden, he wasn't sure so he sent me to the director/chief or whatever he is called. While I had him on the line I asked about FA also, he said "as long as you are legal to posess it, and are on private land, the state doesn't care if you are deer hunting with a FA suppressed .22short and nvg (as long as you are within legal shooting times, 1 hr before to 1 hr after official sunrise/sunset) go for it!
