Givhans is a nice out of the way park, but it is over 45 minutes to Charleston. That time would put you in Summerville.
James Island is the best place to stay for access to downtown. If you don't want to drive, they have a shuttle.
If you are going middle of the week in May, you should do okay. Should be just behind the snow birdies heading north and just ahead of the summer crowd.
The farther back you go in the woods, the worst the mosquitos will be. Need the sea breeze to help keep them at bay.
If you do go to Edisto, make sure you grab lunch at the Sea Cow. First right as you come onto the island then down a block or two. No views, but great service and food.
