Python - shortening a redundant loop

How could I shorten this loop with 4 redundant if statements?

This code is meant to count how many of each suit is in a player's hand in a card game:

suitcounter = [0, 0, 0, 0]
if len(hand) > 0:
    for card in hand:
        if card[1] == "C":
            suitcounter[0] += 1
        if card[1] == "D":
            suitcounter[1] += 1
        if card[1] == "S":
            suitcounter[2] += 1
        if card[1] == "H":
            suitcounter[3] += 1
return suitcounter

Example: Hand consists of two hearts and one spade:

>>>hand = ['3H', '4H', 'AS']
[0, 0, 1, 2]

3H = 3 of hearts, 4H = 4 of hearts, AS = Ace of spades.

I feel there's just too much code 'spam' in what I've done. WTB tips.
