Pardons and Clemency: Can You Get a Pardon to Clear Your Record if You Were Not Convicted

My question involves criminal records for the state of: South Carolina

I got arrested for a misdemeanor 2 years ago. Even though I didn't got convicted and it got expunged is there any way I can get a government pardon so it can be "cleaned" completely.
