All outlets in a garage require GFCI protection. This is required in Sumter County (and most other locations). A freezer/refrigerator, especially newer ones, won’t have any issues operating on a circuit that has GFCI protection. Older refrigerators could sometimes be problematic on those circuits. There are literally hundreds of people who have refrigerators/freezers in their garages here.
