It will vary from storm to storm, but for most storms heading for Charleston from the Atlantic, I expect Columbia would be quite safe. Certainly, there no reason to head for the hills.
For Ivan and other storms going inland from the GOM, I would stay in Charleston.
Note: With all the uncertainty surrounding Frances, I went almost 500 miles to area between Panama City and Pensacola. Safe ground whould be closer to Charleston.
