Operative words
We hold the provisos are constitutional, and we reject the remaining challenges to the validity of the provisos.... [Proviso 1.108] prohibits the use of funds appropriated or authorized by the 2021-2022 Appropriations Act to announce or enforce a mask mandate.... [W]e do not reject the possibility that funds not appropriated or authorized by that act may be used to announce or enforce a mask mandate.

Notes
Footnote 2 records that Richland County 'indicated it would not enforce its ordinance as of Sept. 2, 2021' and that 'both the City and the County have since enacted new ordinances that require masks in K-12 schools': Columbia Ordinance 2021-078 (Sept. 8, 2021) and the County's Delta ordinance (Sept. 15, 2021) (SC-061).
