Elizabeth - although the cemetery at St. Philips is open, it has limited hours. The cemetery on the same side of the street as the church is for 'native Charlestonians'. The one across the street is for 'non-native' (no prejudice here). Although, the church side has filled up more, you will find more recent 'natives' on the 'other side of the street'. Both cemeteries will be locked evenings. I will say, however, that the view from St. Philips cemetery toward the Circular Church when the dogwoods and azaleas are in bloom has got to be one of the best views in the city.! The Huguenot Cemetery is almost always locked. Unless there are services going on, you will have to get someone to let you in. The cemetery is not very large, so you could cover it when you go to services as you mentioned. St, Michaels cemetery is open longer hours and be aware that St. MIchaels is on the site of the old St. PHilips. So the cemetery for St. Philips in the 1700s was on the site that is St. MIchael's today. The current St. Philips church wasn't established on the Church street site until the 1800s.
