The South Africans won 29-17 at the 40,000-seat Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday to advance to Sunday's semi-final against Argentina, who beat Kenya 17-12.
In other quarter-finals, Jerry Tuwai scored the winning try nearly two minutes after the final siren to give Olympic champions Fiji a 14-10 win over New Zealand.
The Fijians will play the undefeated United States, who beat England 17-12 behind Perry Baker's three tries.
