Anyone know much about locality specific timber rattlesnake venoms? Do timbers from Barnwell county SC have neurotoxic components in their venom, do they have the type A venom?

Yes. The neurotoxic component of the Type A venom is referred to as "canebrake toxin", and is a phospholipase A2. It is somewhat similar to the neurotoxins found in the venoms of some other rattlesnake species.
As you move a little farther south you'll begin to see an intergrade of A+B
