How to report my boss for stealing tips?

Hi there. I was working at a bar where we make above min wage and tips went to charity – for the first year or so of my employment, the “charity” was the bar itself. Nobody knew this unless we told them and in fact most people thought they were tipping us because there were no signs. How illegal is this? The tips are going to charity now, but my limited understanding is that even that is illegal. I recently was fucked over (surprise) by said boss, so now I’m done pretending like it’s okay. How can I report this / is it illegal / etc? State is SC, US.
