The 1904 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina were held on November 8, 1904 to elect seven representatives Representatives for one 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.
