No.
If you were not approved for the loan, no loan was made and therefore you don't have any responsibility to the lender.
Any lender has the right to sue regardless of the reason if you choose not to pay them back. Leaving a state where you took a payday loan is not a reason for a payday lender to sue you - not paying them back is.
Yes
Generally, the payday lender will conduct collection processes in order to receive their money. Some lenders will sell the debt to a third-party collector and some will do the collection themselves. Depending on the situation (and the amount of money involved), the lender may sue you in order to get a judgment to pay them. If this is the first time that you have not paid a payday loan, you will likely get harassed for a while, but they will be unlikely to come after you. If this is the second time that you have not paid a payday loan and you are working with the same company, they will most certainly come after you for the money.
Payday loan lenders can sue you in South Carolina if you do not pay.
The payday lender will initiate legal collections processes (under the FDCPA) and make all attempts to collect the debt. If after all collection efforts complete the borrower has not paid, the lender may sue them in civil court to recover their monies (plus any costs associated with the collection process). Because payday loans are low, many lenders just writeoff the amount and don't pursue legal recourse. Legally, one cannot be arrested for not paying a payday loan UNLESS the loan was acquired under fraudulent means.
Payday loans are considered illegal in the state of Georgia. However, if you default on a payday loan, the company can sue you in court. The judge will decide how a judgment will be carried out if the loan was given in Georgia illegally.
The lender can sue for the amount of the loan (including interest and late fees), and any legal fees (such as court filing fees and attorney's fees). They COULD garnish wages and repo any collateral used to "get" the loan.

No. Not paying back a payday loan or cash advance is a civil issue not a criminal one. And, most payday lenders will not sue someone for a $500 loan.
No. If your state allows payday loans, then a payday lender could sue you civilly for default, just like any other loan. Many states have made payday lending illegal. You would have to research your state by checking with the financial regulatory agency. Payday lenders will often make threats of arrest, etc. That is illegal to do in all 50 states, in violation of Federal law. It is a common tactic to scare you into paying.
