First of all, if this conviction was in federal court, you cannot. get it removed or "expunged". However, state court convictions can be expunged in some states. In SD, the law authorizes the destruction of criminal records for:

misdemeanor offenses, if at least 10 years have passed since successfully completing all terms of sentencing;
incidents that are no longer considered criminal in the state;
offenders who are at least s75 years old, if there have been no criminal proceedings against the person for 10 or more years; or
people who have died
