Top-seeded Wozniacki outlasted Jankovic in a match marked by grinding rallies and, in the first set, numerous breaks of serve.
Wozniacki booked a clash with Russian Elena Vesnina, who defeated China's Peng Shuai 7-6 (7/4), 6-3.
Wozniacki and Vesnina have played five times before, Wozniacki winning four of their encounters.
Wozniacki reached the Charleston final for the second time in three appearances. She was runner-up here to Sabine Lisicki in 2009, but last year was forced out in the semi-finals with an ankle injury.
"I'm just happy to be in the finals again," she said. "It's been a great week for me."
