The 52nd was referred to as "Christian's Regiment" not Christian's company.I assume after the regimental commander. Your Christian's company was probably a company named after a man with last name Christian. You might look for a Captain Christian in SC in War 1812.
If you think Henry was in VA check the Library of VA online.They have muster rolls and other information on the War of 1812 in VA.If your ancestor lived in SC it seem unlikely he would serve in a militia in VA.The militia were citizen soldiers called up from their work/residences when needed, like the state national guards we have today.
You might submit his name to NARA to see if they have any records on him.
