Narrative:
Near end of climb to 17500 I was told by controller that an mdt commuter had to initiate evasive action. I was climbing on an airway to 17500. I was squawking xoxz in contact with myrtle departure with flight following. I did see this aircraft pass below. I didn't feel it was unsafe. I was surprised I wasn't told about it but I didn't feel it was a problem until the next controller told me the other pilot was complaining.
