In 1947, SC 641 was extended west to US 301 Allendale, replacing a part of SC 73.
In 1953, SC 641 was extended west with US 301, then replaced some of SC 28 to end at the southeastern boundary of the Savannah River Site just inside Barnwell County.
About 1957, SC 641 was removed from what is now a 1.5 mile unpaved road west from Kearse Rd (west of Jackson Branch near Sycamore)
In 1968 or 1969, SC 641 was truncated back to US 301 Allendale, replaced by SC 125 which became driveable through the Savannah River Plant.
