The viewer Berkeley County publishes
Your first stop is the Berkeley County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel around Hanahan and St. Stephen.

The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds (in some counties the Clerk of Court); the parcel line is a drawing of it. Older tracts around St. Stephen can go back through several deeds, and a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Where Moncks Corner fits in

As the county seat, Moncks Corner hosts the courthouse, which puts the Register of Deeds (in some counties the Clerk of Court) close by. If you're looking near Goose Creek, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits toward Jamestown usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
