Theridion pictipes, Wunderlich, 2008b: 393.
Identification
Carapace yellow-white with a median black band & narrow black border. Legs with dark bands usually at middle and both ends of segments (T. albidum/frondeum will not have dark bands in the middle of leg segments). Description by Levi 1957 also mentions the abdomen as white with black patches, but I think that's from specimen in alcohol.

Good match to the female drawing in Levi 1957
Range
SC, GA, AL, FL
