You can see the "another slot" on these machines here:

It shouldn't have anything to do with the Internet. But if the tabulators are down or damaged, there is a locked, secondary ballot storage on the machine that is indeed nothing more than a metal bin.
The idea is that when the machine is fixed, the bin would be opened (if SC's rules match ours), and the ballots would be scanned in the presence of multiple poll workers.
A voter could also wait until the machine is fixed.
The Internet would affect the checkin workstations, as the GP article suggests.
Keep in mind that most folks working the election have no clue how the equipment works, or what the names of the parts are, etc. Second-hand information like this should be given minimal credence, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
