It varies from state to state, with it being easy in some states and harder in others, with Oklahoma being the toughest.  (Only Obama and McCain were on the ballot there in 2008.)

South Carolina requires a new party to get the signatures of 10,000 registered voters, which is the same required to get ballot access as a petition candidate to a statewide race.  However, once a party exists in South Carolina it is absurdly easy for it to keep ballot access, so absurd that we've had several instances of third parties that have effective gone bust getting taken over as an easier path to ballot access.  Hence, what had been at one time the Natural Law Party of South Carolina is now the Green Party of South Carolina.
