I'm moving from south carolina, and our winters aren't that bad, but I know that's a different case with the states up north. Are there any states/cities that don't suffer from severely cold winters/long winters? I'm looking more towards Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Up North is a pretty general statement. Like ALL northern US states? or just east coast. If you mean all US states then Washington state and Oregon are going to be the most mild northern states in the country in terms of winter weather.

Pennsylvania might be a little too far north for you.
Thank y'all for the quick and helpful responses. Yes up north was a broad term. The two states I really wanted to know about when it comes to weather(winter) is Pennsylvania & Virginia.
To start with, PA can and does get cold and snowy!
Now, What part of SC and what part of VA. Because coastal VA around Va Beach and Norfolk would be similar to the northern and more inland parts of SC. If you currently live in coastal SC then coastal VA will be colder, but is still quite mild.

Very much so, especially Central and Western PA. The line separating freezing precipitation from rain in Virginia seems to fall typically somewhere around Richmond when it comes to winter cold fronts moving through, though of course there are exceptions like the higher elevations in SW Virginia.
There is climatological data here on city-data. Just look up some of the cities you're interested in each state and you can see the average high and low temperatures by month and average rain and snowfall.
In both PA and VA, south and east are warmer than north and west. Parts of eastern PA are similar to central and western VA.
