When comparing the ingredients as given on Walmart.com, it appears they make 'light' or 'dark' syrup by mixing different combinations of corn syrup, refiner's syrup, and high-fructose corn syrup. Strictly speaking, it's the 'light' Karo syrup that contains HFCS as well as light corn syrup. The dark syrup contains dark corn syrup, refiner's syrup, caramel color, and a preservative.

While the ingredients vary, the nutrition facts given for the different syrup types are nearly identical.

No. All Karo products contain NO high-fructose corn syrup.

From karosyrup.com:

Q: Is high fructose corn syrup the same as corn syrup?

A: No. high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are distinctly different products. When Karo was introduced in 1902, it did not contain high fructose corn syrup. Sometime in the 1970's, it was added to the Karo light and pancake syrups. As a result of consumer requests, the high fructose corn syrup has now been removed and all Karo products are high fructose corn syrup free.
